Sending PIN message via BES/MDS ( not Browser Message Push )

I was under the impression that it is possible to send a PIN message from an application via the BES/MDS in a manner similar to sending a Browser Message Push  or a Browser Channel Push - however I dont seem to be able to readily find a reference on how to do so..

 

If I am not mistaken it had to do with a different listening port on the device rather than 7874 - but I could be mistaken on that

 

Any pointers on how to send a PIN message via the Push API via a BES/MDS are appreciated.  I understand the  BES Admin resource kit has a utility to do this so I assume it is possible to programatically do this via the BES/MDS as well.

 

 

 

Thanks

This is not possible.  You can send a PIN message using the BES Resource Kit, but not via a push.

Is there a way to automate this using any programmatic API ?

Mark,

 

Once you are using BES 5.0, there is a BAS API that would allow you to send PIN messages from an application.  See the following link for more info  http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/resources/adminapi.jsp
