BI4 Mobile Configuration and Dashboards on iPad
Hi Experts,
I'm going to deploy Business Objects Mobile behind Firewall, is there guide how to deploy it this way?
On the other hand i couldnt find any documentation about limitations about deployment. What are the differences between BES/MDS, Proxy Server and Firewall ?
I also want to clarify if iPad users will be able to view Xcelsius Dashboards, there is some 3rd party tools but isnt it comes in package?
Thanx
Ruben
Ruben,
SAP currently does not provide Xcelsius support on iOS.
There is a 3rd party alternative called MyBI available, from the company EXXOVA.
Regards,
Sjoerd

I am the EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) Manager for a small aviation company that are using 10 iPad with Retina Display as approved in-cockpit EFBs. Our plan is to configure and manage these iPad EFBs with Apple Configurator 1.3. We also use 2 third-party applications for charts, aviation weather, and other aviation functions that depend on a seperate license and subscription with the vendor outside of iTunes. What I am finding through my new education in Configurator is that there does not seem to be a way to maintain the subscription status with those two applications. Is there a way to isolate those two programs from Configurator control? Better yet, is there a way to integrate them with Configurator without losing the subscription status and loss of huge amounts of data that are on a regular, FAA regulatory update schedule? Configurator is awesome at managing iTunes managed applications and is perfect for our company. I need to figure out how to make Configurator work with a subscription-based application. Please help!
Here is what is surmise reading ForeFlight web site.
There is the app and the data.
You manage the app through configurator or some other MDM. The acquiring and paying for the data is independ of the configurator. You can buy the data through the app or online. You may want to buy online. This way you can do the buying independent of the ipad. Once you have purchased, the app will download the data. You may have to tell it to procedure with download panel.
Some people use configurator to install mdm app then do the rest of the configuration from MDM. This allows wifi updates of configuration.
You end up with managing apps from MDM. You manage with your data from from the online account. You enter appropriate password on each ipad to gain access to the data. App will download your data. My need to tell it what to download in app.
How do I buy a subscription?
Purchasing a subscription is fast and easy! You can purchase a subscription online or inside the app using your iTunes account.
To purchase a subscription inside the app, launch ForeFlight Mobile and then tap the 'Account' icon. You'll see a list of available plans to purchase in the 'Subscription Plans' table. Tap the one you want to buy. Follow the instructions for entering your email address and iTunes password. When the purchase is complete, you'll receive confirmation inside the app and immediately be able to continue using ForeFlight Mobile.
To purchase a subscription online, visit our secure online ordering page. You'll be asked to choose a plan and enter your credit card information. After your purchase is complete, you'll receive an email with a password to sign into the app on your phone or iPad.

How do I update charts, plates, and the airport database?
ForeFlight Mobile has a download manager designed to make selecting, downloading, and updating your data easy- whether you like to store a little or a lot. Tap the Downloads icon from within the ForeFlight Mobile app. The Download Manager allows you to select the types of items you want to download and store on your device. ForeFlight Mobile will contact our servers and display the available updates. If you download updates that are not yet effective (future data sets) they will automatically be used by the software when they become effective. The download manager lets you pause a download and resume it later.

Issue Running a Dashboard on iPad using Oracle BI Mobile App 11.1.1.5
Hi All,
I have an Oracle BI dashboard (11g) which I'm trying to access through an iPad. I have Oracle Business Intelligence Mobile App (version 11.1.1.5) installed on the iPad and the version of the Oracle BI EE Server is 11.1.1.6.0
Functionality of the Dashboard
=============================
The dashboard consists of 15 tabs. The first tab is an Overview tab from where a user is required to select the value for a scenario. Once the user selects a particular scenario and clicks on Apply button the charts on the Overview tab, as well as the data for all other tabs gets generated and the user can select different tabs and view their data.
Results Obtained (till now)
================
The above Dashboard is working perfectly fine when tested on
i. Internet Explorer
ii. Apple iPhone & iPad - Safari Browser
ii iPhone - Oracle Business Intelligence Mobile App
Problem Running the Dashboard on iPad ( using Oracle Business Intelligence Mobile App)
============================================================
When I open the Dashobard, the initial Overview tab appears. As soon as I select a Scenario and click on Apply button, the Overview tab gets generated perfectly fine but the drop down list for selecting the other related reports (tabs) stops appearing.
The Refresh, Properties, Mobile/ Original Layout and Favorites icon on iPad screen all stop functioning.
However, if I do not select a Scenario in the Overview tab and simply click on the dropdown I'm able to view and select from the list of other available reports (tabs) in the Dashboard. The other tabs open up but do not display any components which completely or partially depend on the scenario chosen on the Overview page. Only the components which are independent of Scenario selection appear on the other tabs.
Selecting the Scenario in the Overview tab and applying it is a mandate for getting results on other reports (tabs) but once this is done then the complete navigation stops as explained above.
The same Dashboard is however working perfectly fine with the same App on iPhone.
If anyone has any idea about how to resolve this issue, Please help.
Thanks,
JyotiThere are a number of issues w the Mobile app and Ipad...have to thoroughly reviewed this metalink note:

Ipad, Iphone, Mobile Apps and Webdav support
I have just purchased the NSS 324 which is a superb bit of hardware. I am however having some difficulties with support as i have both an iphone and an ipad. Neither of which formats properly via the mobile safari web interface, in addition to this apart from the Tech Support app there are no indivdual apps to take advantage of the wonderful features which are available. So my questions are:
- Is there going to be a management app for multimedia station etc. So we can upload and download stuff remotely from a mobile device specifically designed for this device (not an ftp app)
- WebDav just does not work remotely and one connection at a time via Cisco access now isn't going to cut it (mind you FTP works great!!!) but i have become accustomed to using Webdav and given the option i thought it would be as simple as my Synology box.
Any Help would be most appreciated as most of my morning was devoted to getting webdav configured for remote connectivity via my mobile and offsite pc but to no avail.Hello Doishi, thank you for your reply really appreciated. i can cope with administration from a computer but it would be great if there was an app or even a mobile version whenver you need to administer from elsewhere.
For multimedia i was trying to use it for streaming music to my mobile device and upload/download content remotely. At present i can upload and download via ftp locally and remotely with no probs but the app costs over £5 per license. streaming is however a no-no as i cant find an app that does it on the fly.
Webdav ooohh Webdav... i can map the drive locally with no issues at all, the problem begins when i do the same remotely. I have attempted to map it remotely via several programs inclusive of windows 7 built in utility, webdrive and netdrive, but to no avail.
Its a ddns setup which works fine (with the relevant ports opened) and eveything works great with the exception of webdav. Am i missing something? even though webdav is enabled and is an extension of the http protocol does it have a different port? as i cant get this to go remotely.

Hi, I put apple configurator on my work machine which has all my itunes, my entire Apple Macintosh History on it and used apple configurator thinking it would be a great way to sync all my devices. I get it now, that it doesn't do that for the private person but is really for an institution or employer. Be that as it may I threw away the app from my main computer and thought I would be done with it.
I just reinstalled apple configurator and thought I took all devices off it. My ipad disappeared from the itunes menu. I plugged my ipad back into my machine and Paulz Config reappeared. I need to get this off my work PowerMac and have my ipad, ipod4 controlled by my macbook pro from home. And does it matter if I use the same email address that's listed with my power mac at work to easily switch the dominant mac over to my home from work. Things can get dicey at work and I don't want my life tied to the work power mac anymore. Thanks, Paul I realize there are a ton of questions in this. I am gratefull if I can just get the apple config off everything.To completely remove Apple Configurator from a Mac, you need to delete the application along with the following:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator.
You may also want to delete the contents of ~/Library/Keychains and /var/db/lockdown to remove the Supervision Certificate, public and private keys and device pairing information. NOTE: There are other things in Keychains that you may or may not want to delete. Google "keychains" to learn more about what's in that folder.
Good luck!

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either. I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere. I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.
I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
Hope this helps -
2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday. Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac. I believe it upgraded itself to iOS 8 (????)
Hey Kenneth,
So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

170 iPads, Apple Configurator and Apple ID - HELP!
Hey Guys,
so i work for a school and i have 170 iPads that need to be deployed. we are using apple configurator and supervising the devices.
Everything has gone great for 23 that i have already done and handed out to teachers etc, except for the minor problem of updating the applications.
When they go to the update the apps it asks for an apple ID and passowrd, at this point in time its asking for my Boss' Apple ID password. Is there anyway of stopping this or will i have to get the teachers to input there own apple IDs on startup of the device?
Thanks for all your help.This happens more often then not lately and I am not sure why. But this is what you can do to fix it after it happens.
Do you have tens - or even thousands- of apps trying to download? You
need the account’s “queue” deleted by Apple.
1. Navigate to: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
2. Click on "Contact iTunes Store support"
3. Choose "Connecting and Downloading"
4. Select "The topic is not listed" and enter the subject "Download
Queue" and continue.
5. On the next page choose to email support.
6. Create a message that says something such as:
"I redeemed codes using Apple ID [email protected] & iTunes is
trying to download hundreds of copies of the same app. Please clear out
my download queue."
7. Wait for a response from Apple.
8. ****After the queue is deleted, be sure to delete the computer’s
trash. All the extra app copies will fill the MacBook Air’s storage.**** -
I have a MacBook Air with OS X and am having trouble accessing the ADT Pulse Home Security System cameras. The mobile (iPhone and iPad) apps allow access no problem, but I can't get a picture on the MacBook. Have tried Safari and Firefox browsers. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
From a Catherine to Katherine -- Had the exact same problem!! I had to enable Java twice - both in Safari and then on the MacBookAir itself.

I'm trying to prepare some new iPads using Apple Configurator and the download of IOS8 failed.
The error in Apple Configurator is "Unable to download iOS 8.0. The firmware image was corrupted. Please retry the operation."
Is there a way to get the Apple Configurator to try to re-download iOS 8?Apple Support had me delete the image file from the following location:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.confi gurator/firmware/
The file name was iPad3,4_8.0_12A365_Restore.ipsw
I deleted this file and ran the prepare again and it download the iOS 8 ok and successfully prepared the iPad. -
when i switch on my ipad 3 it asks for handset configuration and it declines it and my 3g services gets off? y?

Try resetting the device (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears).

Ipad configured and wont start..
Ipad configured and worked for a while and then out of the sudden it won’t start again no matter what I do plugged to PC in power
Please advice?
NBHave you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Configurator restore backup loses iPad Restrictions password and email password.
I am using configurator. I have experienced progress, yeah! I have 12 iPads. The one I setup with perfect settings and apps is named, A1.
I have successfully created a backup of A1, and call it Configurator Master BU.
When I supervise my remaining iPads, A2-A12, I have it set to restore from the above mentioned backup.I plug them in, and click apply. Even if an app was deleted, it comes back. Yeah! Since I am restoring from a backup of an iPad that was already configured, I don't get the iOS setup assistant anymore. Yeah!
I created a profile, and tried to set up a gmail email account there. The imap.gmail.com incoming email server just wouldn't work! So I decided to delete that 'payload' and go set up the email on A1 through Account settings. On the iPad A1, I also enabled Settings->General->Restrictions and set a password. I restricted allowing the users to change the email accounts. A1 works great.
The restored iPads do not.
When checking email, it says the account doesn't have a password.
When you go to settings, the account info is greyed-out.
When you go to restrictions, they are greyed out, except that you can select "enable restrictions".
Once you do that, you can go back in and set the email password.
How can I convince Configurator to keep the email and restrictions passwords when I restore form backups?
Thank you!
Taylor.Okay so the Restrictions thing has been bugging me because I know I've been able to have restrictions set without having to manually do it one by one. So I set up a test lab here of 5 iPads. Wiped them all and started new.
I took one iPad (we'll call it A1). Went through the setup process, selecting country, wifi, terms, etc. Once the home screen came up, I set a restrictions password and set some restrictions. Then I launched iTunes and plugged A1 into the MacBook. I made an Encrypted Backup of A1. Ejected A1. Closed iTunes. Launched Apple Configurator. Took iPads A2-A5 and Supervised them (not restoring any backup). Then I launched iTunes. A2-A5 show up in iTunes. Then I restored the iTunes Encrypted Backup to A2-A5 (one at a time…ugh). After they finished restoring, I quit iTunes and launched Apple Configurator again. In the Supervise tab, I added apps and configuration profiles. They all installed seamlessly. I checked A2-A5 and the restrictions are all set on A2-A5.
The drawback here is that you can't restore a Supervised backup to your iPads…only add/remove profiles and apps with Configurator. If an iPad ever needs a full backup restored, you would need to do it via iTunes Encrypted Backup in order for the Restrictions to hold. If you try to restore a Supervised backup with Configurator then you'll reset the Restrictions.
Its kind of a roundabout way of doing it, but at least you won't have to manually set restrictions on every single iPad.

hi all,
SAP Mobile BI IOS SDK provides such SDK to embed analytic views (Web Intelligence reports and Dashboards) supported by the SAP BI application inside your own custom mobile applications, while Android SDK does not provide such sdk. I would like to know if there is any plan or roadmap to support this interface in Android SDK?Thank you Vishwanath for your reply. We already developed an Android App, and just want to embed and open SAP BO report directly inside our own App, instead of launching SAP Mobile BI App.
