SAP MoBI - Data cannot be stored offline

[Former Member]

Hi experts -

It appears that in a recent update of my MoBI app on my iPad, I can no longer access any reports offline. The settings for my connections now say the following:

The Following policies are in effect for enhanced security:

• Passwords cannot be saved
• Data cannot be stored for offline use.
• Application Password is mandatory for this connection

Is there a place where this setting can be changed?

Thanks

Katie

Hi Katie,

One thing you could try is changing the setting "offlinestorage" in the clientsettings.properties file in the web-inf  folder of the mobile service on the bo server. You may need to restart the server afterwards.

Have you tried restarting the server?

What kind of device are you using?

HI!! Durgamadhab..

Thanks for your response.

My Problem is that i am not able to save the report in Offline mode and do the offline analysis.

I am using Ipad 2 with Ios 7 and SAP BO Mobile version as 5.0.7

Hey Katie,

As mentioned by shai, new properties added at mobile server level with following defaults

savePassword=false      //disables the save password option

offlineStorage=false       //defines the maximum time to live for a document

Thank you Shai and Ashutosh. We were able to change the parameters and now can access data in offline mode.

Thanks,

Hey Katie,

Good, that your problem is resolved. I am adding here definition of all properties, so that this help others

savePassword=false     //disables the save password option

offlineStorage=false      //disables storage of document on mobile device, the downloaded data is deleted as soon as document is closed

offlineStorage.ttl=365     //downloaded document lives for 365 days on mobile device

offlineStorage.appPwd=true     //viewing offline documents will require authentication on mobile device

Ashutosh
