Hi Stephanie,

The core configuration would be adviced by your Network team. As they would have to route the request from the device through a proxy server, which might pass through NAT. NAT would route external IP to internal IP address, which would be redirected to your proxy server. The proxy server would then again re route the request to your application server.

This would require opening of necessary ports and IP communication channels through your company firewalls.

This can be done with assistnance of your network administrator.

Hi Atul,

thanks for your Information.

I've got one question to this: Do we need an extra BI mobile Server or is it available at the BI-Plattform?

Hi Steffi,

BI Platform (boe.war) is deployed inside Tomcat/or any other server. Which is what we call business objects enterprise server.

Similarly, Mobile server (MobileBIService.war) is also shipped and can be deployed in the same web application server as another web app. Hence, you don't really need a new server for the same.

HI Steffi,

Mobile Server is not required to be deployed seperately. Services for the same come along with the installation of BO server ( full installation )

As Mobile itself does not require any servers of its own, there is little or no effect on performance as such. As all processing would be done by the BO servers.

As Ashutosh said, the MobileBIService.war file is the essence of mobile. If that is deployed under tomcat/webapps, you are done!

Hi Stephanie,

BI Mobile Server is part of BI 4.1. Since you have upgrade your existing BI 4.0 to BI 4.1 the best way for you to install BI Mobile Server is to

1) Run modifyOrRemoveProducts.sh from your install location.

2) You need to select your base installation from the list ( it could be BI 4.0 SP4 for example)

3) Then you will get an option to modify, here very IMPORTANT DO NOT UN CHECK ANYTHING

4) Select/Check BI Mobile Server and you are good to go

This will install BI Mobile Server on your existing BI 4.1 server.
