an aid to comprehension, this section provides a brief overview of the
life-cycle of a device upgrade. * Each OTASL capable device will
contain one or more OTASL Service Records(SR) each identifying a Device Manager
(DM). The DM may be located at RIM, may be part of a BES or, in future,
could be associated with a 3rd party application provider. Each SR will
identify the applications which are of interest to the corresponding
DM. SRs may be delivered by PRV, BES or in an upgrade application
loaded OTA. * The device will keep each DM informed of its
configuration including hardware ID, vendor ID, the current software version
(O/S, platform and core applications) and the current screen language
setting. * Any of several authorized device administrators can request
upgrade of a device. Administrators would include the BES
administrator, RIM administrators, carrier administrators and possibly
the end-user. Each administrator will have access to the device
configuration. The BES and RIM administrators will have direct access
to a DM while the carrier will have proxy access through RIM to its DM
to obtain the configuration information. The end-user can simply access
the information directly. * Given the configuration, the administrator
can contact the Control Web Server
(CWS) for a list of possible upgrades in the form of an XML document
(upgrades.xml). * Based on corporate policies and goals, the
administration module can then edit/filter the XML document and forward
the result on to the device. The editing may include the removal of
undesired upgrade paths or the addition of corporate policies on
upgrade data routing (e.g. roaming) or user interaction (don't prompt).
* On receipt of upgrades.xml, the device will execute the instructions
in it possibly including querying the user for upgrade paths and
options or just immediately initiating the upgrade..
