	It is not programmatically possible to push a service book onto the BlackBerry handheld. The service books are automatically pushed down based on the provisioned service. Jennifer Emery BlackBerry Developer Journal www.blackberrydeveloperjournal.com

	Hi, During the Enterprise Activation, Service book is Synchronized to the device from the server. Is it possible to detect on the device, if the device is- 1. Enterprise Activated ? 2. having BES Service Book ? Thanks,

A GlobalEvent is fired when a service book is added.  You can read about this here:

The name of a service book from a BlackBerry Enterprise Server starts with Desktop and has the SRP ID of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server as its UID.

Awesome !

Thanks Mark   :-)

Any way to extract the SRP Id on the device, in order to match it with the UID of the Service Records (Starting with "Desktop*") ?

[MSohm]

You can extract the SRP ID from the service book.  But there is no other way to look it up so that you could use it to locate a service book record.

Mark, there is no mention of 'SRP' in ServiceBook class documentation.  Is it same as CID?  or is it data source id?

Thanks.

[MSohm]

It is stored in the UID and can be read by using ServiceRecord.getUid() method.

Hi,

I was also looking for a way to get the SRP ID from the device API and ran across this thread.  My question is whether we can always reliably use the service book this way--to determine whether the device is attached to a BES and, if so, what the SRP ID is.  So:

1) Is there a "Desktop" service book entry if and only if the device is attached to a BES?

2) Are we guaranteed that the UID for a "Desktop" service book entry will always be the SRP ID of the BES?

3) Does this have the potential to change in future versions of the platform?

Thanks.

Sorry...realized that this is a solved thread.  I will start a new thread.
