Understanding Oracle BI Mobile App

In ["New Features" of BIP 11.1.1.5 |http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/bip-11115-newfeatures-395605.pdf] you can read:
Native and Web App for iPad & iPhone
+More and more business tasks are performed on mobile devices like iPhone and iPad, so why not browse reports and interact with your data on your mobile device with BI Publisher? Simply access your BI Publisher reports with Safari or other browsers on your iPad or iPhone, or install the Oracle BI Mobile App for iPhone and iPad to enjoy the same rich, fast interactive reporting experience as on your desktop or laptop.+
I tried to connect the BI Mobile App (Ipad) with my BIP 11.1.1.6 installation with no success:
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
Am I wrong with my understanding? Why I can't connect?
What's the minimal setup?
Or do I need to install the (whole) BI Suite?
The "New Features" List makes me think that BI Publisher Standalone is sufficient!?
Thank you,
Florian.

Hi
Importing apps into the Apperian platform is very easy. There is no SDK or other limitation that is required for the app to work once deployed with Apperian. Inboarding is a very easy and quick process that requires the binary and some metadata information from the administrator and takes a couple of minutes max.
Apperian also provides a Publishing API (public) that enables one-button integration from a development platform into Apperian. While Oracle BI Mobile App Designer is not yet integrated that way, it is a very quick process that took very little effort with other platforms.
Once inboarded, any process to integrate the app with company policies (via inspection of the app, applying security or adoption policies, integration with corporate identity management, etc.) is done without having to rebuild the app. All in all, it is a very easy process to follow.
Hope this helps!

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,
Jyoti

Call safari or external app from BI Mobile App

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to call from a link embedded in a Dashboard safari or an external App from Oracle BI Mobile App?

This question seems to be unanswered all over this forum...I'd love a response.

Oracle BI Mobile & External Links

Hi All,
I'm trying to link an external content (e.g. http://ww.google.com) from OBIEE.
Using action links I'm able to open a new Tab in Internet Explorer with the new page (e.g. http://ww.google.com).
Using BI Mobile App, when I click the link, I can see the new page straight in the Mobile, but I'm unable to "go Back" to the Dashboard content.
The question is: Do you know how to link external content in BI giving the end user the option to go back to the Dashboard in BI Mobile?
Thanks

How to access an Oracle Lite 10.2 from native VC++ 2005 mobile app

Hi,
I'm developing a MS VC++ 2005 mobile app than will run on Mobile 5 ARM devices. This app needs to connect to an Oracle Lite 10.2 Lite database that is currently installed on those devices.
I know that the MFC and ATL libraries are not "fully" supported on the mobile platform I need, so I need a way to connect to the Lite database, as those libraries don't provide that kind of functionality.
I've been looking around for ways to connect to a Lite Database using VC++ 2005 native, but nothing seems to work!
I've tried SODA but I simply couldn't connect to the database. After that, I've tried OLEDB, as I folowed articles on adapting MFC oledb.h to the mobile platform. Useless, because the articles focused only SQL Server CE.
Anyone can give me a clue how to access the lite database from VC++ 2005?
Isn't there any library like the Oracle.DataAccess.Lite_wce.dll for the CF.NET I can use?
Thanks in advance.
-- Manuel Costa

Marc,
Where can I find those libraries? Are they available to download in the Oracle site?
The SODA Api has very few documentation, only an Oracle HTML document.
Do you know any links with useful tips and examples I can use?
By the way, the Soda API I tried implemented the try-catch exception handling using a special lib (not the try-catch available in the standard VC++ 2005). Has this been changed in the more recent versions you pointed out?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
this can happen if you do not follow one important part of the prerequities:
>> Customers who are upgrading from 11.1.1.6.x or customers who have already performed an in-place upgrade to 11.1.1.7.131017, ensure that you enable the JBIPS features as described in "Enabling JBIPS Features" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching Guide.
(Applies to the "new" 11.1.1.7.131017 as well es to the "old" 11.1.1.7.1 bundle patches)!
So check, whether the JBIPS features are enabled. If not, enable them.

Creating LPN when generated by Oracle Mobile App

Hi Folks,
I have a query client is using Oracle Mobile App for PICK CONFIRMING and also for generating LPN. Now to automate the process they want us to write APIs for Load and Drop and for generating LPN and after that SHIP confirming it. Could someone guide me what wms APIs can be used for Load and Drop and generating LPN?
There are already some wsh and wms APIs for creating and generating LPNs namely WMS_Container_GRP,WMS_Container_PUB
but they all require container item relationship and there is no Container Item Relationship being setup
All the Inv Org are WMS Enabled and I am using r12.
Thanks

Error message when I try to publish aa application with BI Mobile App Designer

Hello,
We had last month a product demonstration of BI Mobile App Designer by Oracle's commercial.
Following this demonstration, I installed and deployed this module on one of our OBIEE server 11.1.7.141014
I thus tested the BI Mobile App Designer product by creating two smartphone applications that worked perfectly.
The problemis that since a few days, I can not access one of my applications from my smartphone.
From OBI, I then load my application and tried to publish it again, but I get the error message :
oracle.xdo.webservice.exception.OperationFailedException: PublicReportService::generateReportParametersDefinition
Failure: Due to oracle.xdo.servlet.data.DataException: oracle.xdo.XDOException:
oracle.xdo.das.DASException: BISvsException on getting a JBIPS member query data.
Then I tried to duplicate my "Mobile App" and rename it and when I tried to publish it I get the error :
French message :
La bibliothèque d'applications n'est pas configurée correctement.
Assurez-vous que le fichier de configuration est défini pour la bibliothèque d'applications.
English message :
The application library is not configured correctly.
Make sure that the configuration file is defined for the application library.
I don't understand what happens and I can't find any solution to this problem in Oracle knowledge base !...
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Thierry Demoy

Hi Thierry,
In relation to the second error, I have had this before and it related to be below so this may help: Check the following file:
<DOMAIN_HOME>/config/bipublisher/repository/Admin/Configuration/xmlp-server-config.xml
Check that the following line matches were you are trying to publish your apps on OBIEE. The default is normally "Apps Library" but you can name this folder anything you like.
Just change the below line and point to the folder. Restart the services BIMAD.
<property name="APPS_LIBRARY_FOLDER_LOCAL" value="/Apps Library"/>
Let us know if this helps?
Thanks

ADF-Mobile app will not rotate in iOS simulator or device

We have been coding an ADF-Mobile app in JDeveloper and testing on both a Motorola tablet and an iPad.
Both our application, as well as the demo "Deployment Successful" (found here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/MobileTutorial/jdtut_11r2_54_1.html) application rotate fine from portrait to landscape and back on the Motorola device, however, the same code will not rotate on an iPad.
I understand that the device orientation functionality is controlled in the deployment profile. I have been successful with forcing my app to launch in landscape mode OR portrait mode (By deselecting both portrait settings or both landscape settings, respectively in my deployment profile) however, when I leave all 4 enabled, my app seems to be locked in right-side-up portrait mode (It will not even rotate between portrait modes)
Has anyone experienced this issue with iOS devices and the rotation functionality, and if so, is there a workaround?
Any help is appreciated
Gord Taylor

Hi,
There is a known issue when you use Xcode 4.5 and iOS SDK 6 to compile your app - the app would not rotate correctly. If you use Xcode 4.4.1 and the associated SDK, then rotation will work fine on both iOS 5 and 6 devices.
Xcode 4.5 certification should be coming soon - for now please try to use 4.4.
If you are already using 4.4, please let me know and perhaps there are configuration issues.
Thanks,
Joe Huang

Adf mobile app accessing e-business suite 12.1.3

Hi,
I'm very new with ADF development, let alone with building a mobile app. We are in an exploratory stages of building a mobile application on top of the e-business suite using ADF. Ideally, we will use the ebusiness suite login (FND USER) to login to the mobile application. I understand that we need the ebiz suite Java SDK to make this possible.
Now, our ebusiness suite (release 12.1.3) is only run through the intranet meaning no DMZ is installed to access it via the internet. The question is, if we build a mobile application, do we need a DMZ server so that the mobile can access the e-business suite in the internet? Is there any option in place other than installing a DMZ to access the application externally by the mobile app?
Any advise is going to be very valuable to us.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not entirely sure about that - there will be the requirement that your ADF (or more appropriately "WebLogic") environment will need to authenticate against E-Business Suite.

Is there any option in place other than installing a DMZ to access the application externally by the mobile app? You'll need to set up some type of server infrastructure that allows you to install WebLogic and an "ADF" environment to serve your mobile applications, preferably fronted by an HTTP server like Oracle HTTP Server (It's usually the HTTP Server that might be placed in a 'DMZ', with firewall rules governing how network traffic is allowed to move between the HTTP Server and the WebLogic Server.)
A good intro that can give you an overview of a deployment topology is one that I've referenced in the WebCenter documentation from time to time:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e12037/intro.htm#sthref47
.. there is obviously a lot more in that document than you wll be using (i.e. you won't be concenred with SOA, WebCenter or even the database), but there's a nice drawing there of the HTTP Server and a WebLogic environment to host your application and some discussion about what and when you'll want to consider clustering, etc.
Hope that helps,

Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g is out

Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g is released, please post your comments when you get hands on it
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-mobile-server/overview/index.html
New Features in 11g
* Support for Java SE, including SE Embedded
* Device Management for Android platforms
* Automatic sync for Android and Blackberry platforms
* Support for Oracle Glassfish
* Support for Java 1.6
* Better integration with Oracle Berkeley DB, including encryption support

In the release notes for 11g, I find this:
"The Oracle Lite Mobile Client is desupported in this release. The Sync Control APIs for the Oracle Lite Mobile Client are still provided in this guide, but will be removed when the Oracle Lite Mobile Client is fully deprecated.
Supported mobile clients include the Berkeley DB and SQLite Mobile Clients.
I am not sure I understand. Will I still be able to use Olite db with the Sync Control API for Oracle lite (like before), or does it mean that the sync control APIs now work only with SQLite and BDB? We are in the process of porting our app from WM6.1 to Android. If we install the latest Mobile server, will I have to change my WM6.1 app so that it supports SQLite or BDB?
I think the latter is the case, but I became unsure when I read the release note.

Facing problem to display the content in Android Emulator of my mobile app

Hi All,
I have developed an adf mobile application as in the following and i successfully deployed my app in android emulator.....
Link i have used to create basic mobile App ------------ http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/MobileTutorial/jdtut_11r2_54_2.html
Problem :
i can view my app in android emulator.......but if i open it i am getting a blank (white) screen in emulator......i don't know wat's happening.
Can any one please help me to solve this problem.........
Regards,
Nani

Hi,
Yes Android emulator is very problematic, and there are certain out of box emulator configurations that would not even start up on a reasonably powerful PC.
What works typically for me is to use an emulator built using SDK version 15 or 16 - for some reason, the Android SDK API level's emulators are much more problematic than before. There are some configurations (for example Nexus 7 tab) that simply hangs when trying to start it using default RAM allocation. After reducing it to 512, I can start it but then I can't start app. With older version of the emulator, if I set the RAM to say 512, generally the emulator will start and the app will also start (although very slowly).
Unfortunately this is an Android issue, and there is very little ADF Mobile can do.
In short, if possible please deploy to a device, and also please remember to deploy in release mode when you don't need to debug the app, as performance difference is very great. There are some articles on how to compile Android app in release mode. This may also help with your Android deployment. https://blogs.oracle.com/shay/entry/speed_up_adf_mobile_deployment
