look at this poor bastard who actually has to administer this shitshow

CLAM DOWN posted:

So I attempted to upgrade BES from 10.1.2 to 10.2.2 today and it ended up failing after 8 hours of the installers making an unmitigated shitshow of everything.

To get your installer/upgrade to even remotely work, the following must happen:

call support to figure out what the BES 10 upgrade path is. As in, you can't go 10.1.* to 10.2.1+, you have to go to 10.2.0 first. This doubles the amount of time this takes. This is not documented anywhere. Especially not in the prereqs, install guide, or download page.

if you have ever upgraded Java on your BES server (if you don't you should reconsider your stance on security), you have to re-install static installs of the JRE that your version of BES originally shipped with, because the installers point to a static path of specific versions. This is not documented anywhere.

if you have replaced self-signed certs in your as/ncc.web.keystore (if you haven't you should reconsider your stance on security), you have to use the genWebKey.bat utility along with the encryption key pulled manually from the DB to reset your keystore. This is not documented anywhere.

allow 2+ hours per installer to allow updates of the SQL tables. 95% of this 2+ hour time is spent doing absolutely nothing but repeatedly updating the installer progress bar at its current position. This is not documented anywhere.

if you have an HA pair, sacrifice a goat and pray to satan because there is no way in hell you're emerging from this unscathed. Make sure you stop all services on both nodes because sometimes your nodes decide to play a game and change roles on you, completely loving up your cluster.

After all this, you will still get completely a unknown "Failed validation, Result: 10" error that 3 tiers of support cannot figure out, and you will have to restore to your snapshots you better have loving taken before starting, thus wasting your entire day.

Sorry for the rant but Blackberry can rot in hell. Too bad, because the Z30 is a nice piece of hardware.

why not just get the Q10 or Q5. the Q5 is loving $150 sans-contract

and there's just BB 7 on the bold. like i get people might miss the form factor, but do they think "poo poo, i hate having apps!" too?

banks. some smaller places have byod policies but the big banks still hand out blackberrys to everyone. plus with byod you need to submit expenses at the end of the month. having a device from your employer means that they handle all the billing and you don't have to worry about submitting any expenses

it's like how everyone in michigan kept buying gm cars long after everybody else realised they were terrible.

while i do see a bb10 device around london (uk) every once in a while, theyre always q10s or q5s. only the canadians are stupid enough to purchase the z10 or z30
