You must increase the heap size used by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) before running the installation program to avoid ”Out of Memory” error messages in the log file. For information, see "Increasing Heap Size to Avoid 'Out of Memory' Error Messages" in BRM Installation Guide.
Go to the directory where you installed the Third-Party package and source the source.me file.

perl partition_utils.pl -o update
For more information, see "Updating Partitions" and "partition_utils" in BRM System Administrator's Guide.

This is a mandatory configuration task.Before you can use GPRS Manager, you must configure the event notification feature as follows:
If your system has multiple configuration files for event notification, merge them. See "Merging Event Notification Lists" in BRM Developer's Guide.
Ensure that the merged file includes the entire event notification list in the BRM_Home/sys/data/config/pin_notify_telco file.
(Optional) If necessary to accommodate your business needs, add, modify, or delete entries in your final event notification list. See "Editing the Event Notification List" in BRM Developer's Guide.
(Optional) If necessary to accommodate your business needs, create custom code for event notification to trigger. See "Triggering Custom Operations" in BRM Developer's Guide.
Load your final event notification list into the BRM database. See "Loading the Event Notification List" in BRM Developer's Guide.
