SAP BI mobile iOS SDK support for rendering SAP BI explorer views

Former Member

We are creating a custom iOS app using SAP BI mobile SDK - Version 6.0.8 and was able to successfully render a WEBI document and XCelsius dashboards. But we are unable to render an exploration view (SAP BI Explorer). We are getting a message that the document type is not supported. Will SAP BI explorer be supported by mobile SDK ? If so when can we expect this.?

Thanks in advance for assistance.

Thanks

Krishna

Hi Krishna,

SDK build has same capability as the App Store build. Can you clearly state the error you are getting, screenshots would be helpful.

Hi Ashutosh,

When you try to view Explorer documents you get an error "1006 Document type not found". Received a note from SAP support that this is currently not supported along with SAP KB article - "2104002 - Does BI Mobile SDK for iOS support Explorer documents?"

The following is from the article..

********************

Symptom

You are using the BI Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK) for iOS, have built your application and have it deployed onto your iPad. Your Webi

Intelligence documents work fine, however when you try to view your Explorer documents you get an error "1006 Document type not found"

Environment

SAP BusinessObjects Mobile SDK 6.0.9 for iOS

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.1 SP4

Resolution

Currently the only supported content types in the BI Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK) for iOS are Web Intelligence and Dashboard

documents. This may change in the future, but at this moment there is no support for Explorer, Crystal Reports or any other document types when using the BI Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK) for iOS.

**********************

I am curious to know if this will be supported in the future and if so when ?

Thanks
Krishna

Hi Krishna,

When you talk about embed-ability through SDK then only Webi and Dashboards are supported.

However, if you are using SDK to just customize the app and use then all contents should continue to work.
