Another post on BIS and the Alliance program

Hi all

I am aware that there are already many posts around about establishing a HttpConnection of an app, access to the BIS - B connection. and the obligation to be part of an Alliance partner to be able to receive a BIS - B connection string.

I've tested in applications, it seems possible to use BIS - B combined connection (if it has a) seeking Service book for the details necessary to establish a connection. All Ive done reading I have not seen if you use this method in an application is acceptable (in terms of licenses etc.) If you are not a member of the Alliance program; and if you are able to distribute such application to be distributed publicly without being a member of the alliance program. Is this acceptable; and are there implications if you distribute applications that access to the API signed without being a partner of the alliance?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen a number of posts on this forum that claim to offer a way to use BIS-B by looking in the service books, for example

http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/connecting-your-BlackBerry-http-and-socket-c...

As far as I know, this code will not work.

I think that the blog you will find here:

http://www.naviina.EU/WP/BlackBerry/the-magic-string-BlackBerry/

gives a very balanced (and not RIM) take on the use of the BIS-B.

If you think that easier networks will make your app, think again.  Network communication is a very small part of the entire application, and it is possible to obtain a reliable communication using other means.  And BIS - B isn't too without problems, I had problems with encoding with data sent via BIS - B.  BIS - B is not a panacea.

However if you are convinced that BIS-B is the best thing for your app, then I suggest that you have two options:

(a) approach RIM for access to it.  If you have a convincing application, then I think that they will look favorably

(b) ask someone else to develop your network code.  We did this for a Client and got permission to use BIS-B for an application that we develop for someone else.  We delivered the communication as a "black box" code that their, but they have the source for the rest of the application and can maintain they like now.

Your last question is:

"is there no impact if you distribute applications that access to the API signed without being an alliance partner?

There is no impact, signature is not related to the use of the BIS-B or members of the Alliance.

Edit: And of couse - welcome on the Blackberry forums!

    What is the significance of the differences, if any, between the Program Files folder and the folder C:\Program Files (86)?  When you install the software, is it better to let the software decide what Program Files folder to use?

    Hello Pit Bull Junkyard,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    The Program Files (x 86) folder is the default folder for 32-bit programs, Program Files is the default folder for 64-bit programs.  I suggest you leave all programs you install go to the default to avoid any problems.

    Both of these files have very strict default permissions that are difficult to ignore, unless you want to create a new folder, and then save it there.

  • Monitor source and the stopped program monitor display anything

    Hey there,

    I am a user of CS6 Production Premium and serious difficulties here: I'm working on a large 1080 p AVC-Intra50 project for a client who is scheduled next Monday. I am close to completion, but a couple of days, the arrested source video display monitor. It would still show a that I loaded into a clip, but as soon as I have read, the source monitor just went black. The clip played well and you can listen to. Not as big problem, I thought and simply used the program for playback monitor. But yesterday, it's the same thing with the instructor of the program as well. But not only: even the stills have now disappeared. Both monitors remain dark permanently, even if playback and the sound still work. So I'm curious and I tried different materials and different projects: JPEG, AVCHD, DNxHD files, even, nothing shows up on two monitors, regardless of the resolution. Yet, everything works fine on my laptop.

    Then I completely uninstalled all of the Creative Suite, used the Clean Script several times, including reboots, deleted all the files of the remaining user and windows directories and updated all my hardware to the latest drivers. Nothing. Both monitors remain black and useless. Not changed anything to my configuration of Adobe, nor my hardware or software configuration while this error occurred. I searched the web for hours and I'm completely at the end of my mind. Any suggestions?

    My system:

    Windows 7 x 64

    Intel Core i7 2600 k

    8 GB RAM

    ATi 6870

    BTW: I had to reinstall Windows. Which corrects the problem. Seems to be a weird problem of Adobe vs Windows deep inside the system.

  • How can I completely remove Realplayer or other similar plugins of Firefox (I have deleted Realplayer and the Realplayer program files)?

    Hello, I find that Firefox often hangs and it says not responding do not when I try to open a new page, and also that it takes a long time to clear cookies and cache. I read elsewhere that the second problem may be due to plugins, and I found many of them, which I did not need such as Realplayer. So I was wondering if there is a way for me to start from scratch without any plugins at all and then I install everything needed?

    I have reset Firefox, uninstalled and reinstalled and also deleted Realplayer and the Realplayer software files, but nothing seems to change (there are other plugins too that I do not think that I use, like VLC Web Plugin - I only use VLC to DVD - which could also be the cause of the problem).

    You can find the installation path of the plugins on the topic: plugins page.

  • Problems with parental control - clicking 'Allow' has no effect and the apps / programs that are permitted by the user are not allowed.

    Hello.

    I use Windows 7.

    User account from my son has parental control of Microsoft Watch.  It cannot open an iTunes account.  When he tries to do, a widow who opens shows the administrator permission is required.  We ask in person, I type my password.  Nothing happens.  iTunes will not open and if it clicks again, the same window again.

    Another problem is that iTunes is blocked at all.  Why is this?  In my account of parental control of Microsoft, I have the option 'ALLOW' next to iTunes.

    NOTE: this problem, namely, nothing happens when I enter my password to give permission to my son for a program or a Web site, it happens a LOT.  It occurs not only with iTunes.

  • I followed the instructions for "Go Thunderbird data to a new computer," but the calendar data has not been transferred and the calendar program does not work.

    I manually moved my profile of Thunderbird in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 8.1 Windows. I followed the instructions and everything settled as expected except the calendar. Not only the calendar data has not been transferred, the calendar itself does not, for example no dates & everyday of the week, etc., all the menus associated with the calendar are "grey," etc. I'd appreciate any help. TIA KellyJMorris

    Calendar (aka Lightning) contains binary components, which are dependent on OS. Thus, you should not remove the add-on lightning in your add-ons Manager and install the Windows version of lightning.

    Communicate with the computer mftr. for replacement media. Legally, they must give you a way to reinstall Windows. XP MCE was available as an OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") product and in addition to having a TechNet/MSDN subscription, I know of nowhere hand, you can download it legitimately.

  • I just installed a 32-bit OS (Windows 7 Home Premium) and the antivirus program on my laptop.

    I have the same 64-bit operating system. The 64 bit OS will act as an upgrade (go to a 32 on a 64 bit OS), or it will delete and format the drive?

    To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you must do a clean install.  This means that you will have to reinstall applications.

  • Backups and the effectiveness of programming main HP

    I'm contemplating writing a program quite prepared for the first HP and I wonder about the effectiveness and backups.  I have several questions that I couldn't find answers to in the Guide of use or in other posts.

    (1) I understand that HP connectivity Kit will allow me to transfer programs between the emulator and the calculator back.  But is it possible to record my programs custom from the emulator on my computer?  I would like to have a backup of text files.

    Is there a way to write the text file to my laptop and then copy to the first HP?

    (2) is there any detailed info on the connectivity for the first HP HP Kit?  It is unique to the HP Premium, or is it the same thing as the other calcultors?  It is part of the package of HP Prime, or is it an additional purchase?  The User Guide is available yet?

    (3) all about programming the calculator seems inefficient.  Of programming in the emulator seems slower than if I used a dedicated text editor. (However, I remember wrote some quite long programs on the single line of my HP 41 c years.)  Is there an easy way to cut and paste the text from my computer in the emulator to test the program?

    Thank you

    Nick

    > I understand that HP connectivity Kit will allow me to transfer programs between the emulator and the calculator back.

    In fact, you don't have even the Connectivity Kit for this.  The emulator and the Calculator programs transfer directly to each other with a single press of the Send button.  You have even press reception (there is no this key), or specify where to send them to.  You press just send, and the program will appear instantly in the other first.  Cool, huh?

    > But is there a way to record my programs custom from the emulator on my computer?  I would like to have a backup of text files.

    Yes, and it's completely intuitive.  In the program editor, you just COPY EVERYTHING, then paste directly into your favorite text editor on your computer, where you can edit and/or save it as you like.  You can also transfer programs from your computer to the emulator or the calculator by copying the source code of plain text in the text editor of your computer, and then paste in the emulator or a calculator.  It couldn't be simpler.

    > Is there any detailed info on the connectivity for the first HP HP Kit?  It is unique to the HP Premium, or is it the same thing as the other calcultors?  It is part of the package of HP Prime, or is it an additional purchase?  The User Guide is available yet?

    The "HP connectivity Kit" and its documentation are on the CD that came in the first package of HP.  It's not the same program as Conn4x (the "Calculator Connectivity Kit" for the HP 48/49/50 series).

    > All about programming the calculator seems inefficient.  Of programming in the emulator seems slower than if I used a dedicated text editor. (However, I remember wrote some quite long programs on the single line of my HP 41 c years.)  Is there an easy way to cut and paste the text from my computer in the emulator to test the program?

    As mentioned above, you can easily copy the plain text source code in your favorite editor on PC and then paste it directly into the program editor is in the emulator OR the calculator.  And vice versa.

    Some text editors on PCs, such as TextPad to Helios Software, allow syntactic macros and customizable.  These tools are very useful for the first programming.

    > I realize that the connection Kit may be just a special USB cable.  Is this fair?

    In fact, it's just.  It uses the same USB cable by the calculator to recharge its battery and to communicate with the emulator.

    Hope that helps!
