Connection between SAP BI for Mobile in iPad and BO 4.0 server

[Former Member]

Dear,

I would like to know how can I connect my own BO 4.0 server to SAP BI for Mobile in iPad. I have tried many combinations with no success. Do you have any documentation talking about this?

I have tried

Server URL: internal IP address:8080, FQDN:8080, Internal IP address, FQDN

CMS: CMS_Name:6400, CMS_Name

I always got the same error.

Connection failed

There was a problem communication with the web proxy server.

Please advice.

Thank you very much.

Dominic,

Do you have the MobileBIService.WAR file in place in the tomcat directory?

What Service Pack level are you on?

Hi,

I am not sure whether you have already solved the problem or not....

Do the following to deploy MobileBIService.war file on tomcat

1.Stop Tomcat Web application server.

2.Copy the file, MobileBIService.war from [Install directory]\Mobile 14\Client to the Tomcat's "Webapps" directory.

In my case, I copied the MobileBIService.war from C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Mobile14\Client to C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps. ( I used BO 4.0 SP02)

3. Start Tomcat.

Restarting Tomcat would automatically deploy war file as a Web App

One folder u201CMobileBiServiceu201D will appear in webapps folder when MobileBIService.war is deployed successfully.

Hope it helps.

you would have to install a seperate box for windows mobile

This will allow deployment of tomcat on that server.

then you will need to paste the mobilebiservice.war file in webapps folder.

Try accessing the tomcat URL from Safari to make sure your ipad can reach the web server.

http://<tomcat>:8080/

If that works try updating the server to SPS 2 Patch 2.3. I have been using this patch and seems to be working fine with the BI 4.0 system.
