Our users need to utilise offline mode, but in trying to set this up I'm encountering a number of problems.
This is SAP BOE 4.0 SP 5, Webi report saved with 1500 rows displaying a crosstab and saved with Refresh On Open unchecked.
The latest version of the iPad app is installed.
The scenario plays out as follows:
Very Odd...
Thanks

Indeed very strange!!
Can you let us know what is the connectivity mechanism between your device and the BO server.
any firewall or DMZ connection. VPN?
You have particularly mentioned one report having 1500 rows. Does this happen with any report. May be a sample report based on efashion universe as well.
can you create a new connection on your device and check the issue again.
Regarding the offline issue, you sure you are connecting to the same application server. If in case you have muliple application servers hosting Mobile, just in case
you can redeploy the MobileBIService.war file once and check the issue as well

Hi Atul,
My apologies but I was wrong in my initial post. These issues are against the XIr3 BOE. None of these issues appear on the V4 based BOE.
I did recreate the connection but the same behaviour happens on that connection. What was interesting though was that when I logout (because no reports appear under Server - All); if I login to the alternative connection the reports appear. Logout and go back to the original connection and Server - All is still blank. Also the report added to My Items does not appear when I login to that alternative connection that is actually the same BO infrastructure. Again, deleting the My ITems report and the Server - All populates again.
When Server - All is not showing the reports, the swipe down action to the Refresh the contents does not work either.
Our installation uses VPN on Demand.
I mentioned the 1500 rows just to show it wasn't a data volume problem.Not sure we have eFashion configured in DEV but currently I don't have access if we do.
As this is the DEV environment we only have 1 application server deployed.
thanks

HI M,
is VPN causing this? i suspect
tiemout, connectivity issues may be.
As you are able to see the reports when you login to an alternate connection, it means the connectivity is fine to the BO server. it is able to communicate, but i guess the first time, it tries to validate the connection or may be times out, leading to no reports.
once it authenticates, it does not try to fetch data.
while logging into another connection, it connects and gets the data.
indeed strange,
Have you tried to connect your ipad directly to the BO server? this will clear out the hassles, which might help you take this with your VPN team to investigate the logs.
Also, the work offline thing, as it does not have any data initially, it shows you no network connection, because, there is something happening when the app communicates to the server using VPN. The logs should have some answers.
