BlackBerry 4.0 Tips and Tricks 2
Dig into some tips and tricks that you can use to get a handle on your BlackBerry-related tasks.
Using BESAlert for Error and Warning History

The Research in Motion (RIM) BlackBerry comes with a notification service called BESAlert, which sends you an email message when services start or stop, or when errors or warnings are recorded in the BlackBerry debug logs. The first problem I have with relying on BESAlert is that it runs locally on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), so if the whole BlackBerry server goes offline or loses network connectivity, you won't get an alert. Second, you can't tailor BESAlert to notify specific people when certain events (e.g., loss of connectivity to the blackberry network) occur.

Building an SRP Monitor

If you want a second opinion about the reachability of the SRP host, you can use the BBSRPTEST utility. This command-line utility is located in the C:\Program Files\Research in Motion\BlackBerry Server\Utilities folder. When you run BBSRPTEST, it reads the RIM SRP host information from the registry and tries to connect to the SRP host. When the command finishes, you receive either a success message or a failure message. You can schedule an hourly batch task to pipe the output of BBSRPTEST to a text file and use the Find command or a script to check for the success message.
