Realtime access to OBIEE analysis over iPhone

Oracle Business Indicator is a business application designed to provide mobile business users realtime access to pre-defined OBIEE analytics from the iPhone device.

Business user can browse folders on OBIEE server and view any pre-created reports stored under it.





The client for iPhone device is available for download from http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284793704&mt=8

There's only one configuration change needed on server side. Since the iPhone device does not support Flash components, we need to configure the BI Server to render charts in the PNG format. To make this change just add following configuration under section of the instanceconfig.xml file:

<charts>
<defaultimagetype>PNG</defaultimagetype>
</charts>

iPhone Client will require setting server URL, user and password etc. For more details about configuring Oralce Business Indicator client, refer configuration guide.
