capture apple device id

[Former Member]

We are trying to setup mobile Bi in a secure manner. Therefore we have already setup an HTTPS SSL connection. BO works fine.

Currently we are using the BO 4.0 SP6 patch 2 version of the Enterprise environment together with the latest iPad app. (5.1.6 out of my head).

We have one additional requirement for security reasons. We do want to know which devices have connected to SAP BO mobile.

Can we capture the devices that have been logged on to BO. We want to see the apple device ID. (which is also stated on the back of each ipad).

Does anybody have a clue if this is possible? Withing the BO auditin?

Hi,

I guess not!

But the mobile server logs, should let you know, which devices connected to the BO server.

Not sure about the apple ID.

But you can surely check that and let us know

• On the machine where MobileBIService is
  deployed, go to My computer-->properties-->Advanced System
  Settings-->Advanced tab -->Environment Variables
  • Create two system variables as below
    • Variable Name=BO_TRACE_LOGDIR and
      Variable Value=c:\BOBJTracelogs (i.e. Specify any local directory
      on BOE server machine)
    • Variable Name=BO_TRACE_CONFIGFILE and Variable
      Value=<SAP Business Objects install directory>/SAP Business Objects
      Enterprise XI 4.0\conf\BO_Trace.ini

• Stop Tomcat Server

• Backup
  a copy of BO_Trace.ini & replace contents BO_Trace.ini with below lines
• sap_trace_level = trace_info;
• sap_log_level = log_info;
• size = 10000;
• keep = true;

• Restart
  Tomcat

• Perform required
  action from MOBI App, connecting to this mobile server. Log files will
  be available in “BOBJTracelogs\ SBOPWebapp_Mobi_Server” directory

• log file name will
  look like "MobiWebApp_<random number>_trace.glf"
