Readying your app for deployment: server setup

You want to test your app on a BlackBerry server before you deploy it into production. You need to become familiar with how to setup and configure such a server. You have options available: either 
BlackBerry UEM
 or the older 
Good Control
.
Check with your IT or other department to see what test servers might already be available in your organization.

BlackBerry UEM
 preferred

BlackBerry UEM
 is the primary server configuration to test and deploy your app. 
If you upgrade from 
Good Control
 to 
BlackBerry UEM
, you not only get to use the great feature set that 
Good Control
 provides but you also get to take advantage of an enhanced feature set such as:
  • Support for more policies for operating systems
  • Better app management
  • More container types
  • Improved administration and provisioning
  • Advanced connectivity and networking
  • Expanded compliance and integrity checking
  • Additional email, content, location, and certificate features
  • Access to BlackBerry Web Services APIs
For information on how to use 
BlackBerry UEM
 to manage 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps, see the 
BlackBerry UEM
 Administration Guide.

Standalone 
Good Control

The standalone 
Good Control
 server is also available, but BlackBerry encourages you to use 
BlackBerry UEM
 for your tests and deployment. For information about getting started with 
Good Control
, see Developer Bootstrap: 
Good Control
 Essentials.
