Process flow: Sending a file to a contact using the
BlackBerry Client for IBM Sametime
1. A user opens a conversation with a contact, clicks Send File on the menu, and selects a file to send to the contact.
2. The BlackBerry Client for IBM Sametime creates an invitation request and sends it to the BlackBerry Collaboration
Service.
3. The BlackBerry Collaboration Service checks the size of the file to verify that it does not exceed the maximum file size
that you configure on the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server, associates the file extension and the conversation ID with the
invitation request, and sends the request to the IBM Sametime server.
4. The IBM Sametime server checks the file size to verify that it does not exceed the maximum file size that you configured
on the IBM Sametime server (by default, 1 MB), associates the file with the conversation that is open between the
sender and recipient, and sends the request to the BlackBerry Collaboration Service.
5. The BlackBerry Collaboration Service converts the request into an instant messaging invitation and sends it to the client
on the recipient's BlackBerry device.
6. In the conversation window on the recipient's client, the recipient receives a request to accept or decline the file. The
recipient can also select an option to optimize the file for viewing on the
BlackBerry device.
The BlackBerry Collaboration Service can optimize files for viewing on the BlackBerry device only if it has access to the
BlackBerry Attachment Service in your organization's environment.
7. The recipient accepts the request.
If the recipient selected the optimize option, the file will be downloaded to the memory of the BlackBerry device. If the
recipient did not select the optimize option, the client prompts the recipient to save the file to a location in the file
system on the BlackBerry device.
8. The recipient's client sends a content request packet to the BlackBerry Collaboration Service.
