How to get started with SAP BusinessObjects Mobile?

[former_member184588]

Hello,

I am new to BI/BO but my colleges are already working with BI/BO but have no idea about the mobile possibilities. Because of that I would like to support them. Unfortunately I don't get the point with some questions:

- Which licence do I need in order to get the two IPad apps for BI/BO running?

- Is it correct that I need an tomcat to deploy the war files? So this will not work with an "normal" Netweaver on linux?

Thanks a lot,

Vanessa

For what concerns licensing, normally the clients are subject to the licensing models of each app, for the server it varies hence I would suggest to contact sales through your normal preferred channels.

I hope the above information help

Thanks and regards
