Our users need to utilise offline mode, but in trying to set this up I'm encountering a number of problems.
This is SAP BOE 4.0 SP 5, Webi report saved with 1500 rows displaying a crosstab and saved with Refresh On Open unchecked.
The latest version of the iPad app is installed.
The scenario plays out as follows:
- Saved report in Infoview to Mobile category
- I have to logout from the active connection on the iPad before it appears on the Server - All listing (is there no way to refresh this content?)
- Login to connection and report is available. Tap it and the report opens and I can refresh it fine
- Added the report to "My Items"
- Tap Back and Browse and select "Work Offline" from the Connection drop down
- "My Items" is displayed with the report visible for selection
- Tap the report "Error <report name> This action cannot be performed: verify network connectivity"
This is issue 1, why are we getting this error. Server setting offlinestorage=true, offlinestorage.ttl=365 - Tap Browse and turned off "Work Offline" and relogged to the connection
- Tap Browse, Server - All; No reports are displayed!
This is issue 2, "having relogged my server reports should now become available again" - Logged out of the connection and relogged to the same connection
- Tapped Server - All still no reports are available
- Shut Down the SAP BI application and relogged. Server - All still no reports available
- I removed the report from My Items, Tap Server - All, still no reports available
- Logged out of the connection
- Relogged to the connection and now tapping Server - All the reports are visible again. So seemingly they only came back when the My Items report was removed.
Very Odd...
Thanks
