Opening documents in SAP BI MOBILE for IPAD - IPHONE


Creating SAP BI URLs For Opening specific BI Documents or Reports


SAP BusinessObjects Mobile for iOS 4.2.0

Pre-requisite
Recipients of the SAP BI URLs (created using the format explained in this topic) have:
- Access to the SAP BusinessObjects BI platform server/ SAP BusinessObjects Mobile server specified
in the URL.
- The SAP Mobile for iOS app installed on their iPhone or iPad device.


1. Creating an SAP BI URL for opening a simple BI document (default view: first report, first
page) in the app
To give users access to a simple BI document on their iPad or iPhone devices, create an SAP BI URL
with the following format:
sapbi://OpenDoc/?ConnectionType=BOEConnection&connection_name=123&serv
er_url=10.10.10.10:8080&cms=10.10.10.10&Type=webi&iDocID=AXtcyDP4u09Jn1_P9BSR9H0&reportPartKey=&reportPageNumber=0&reportIndex=&isInstance=N&prompt=

ConnectionType, connection_name, server_url and cms are the regular SAP BI URL
parameters that help the app (on user's device) identify the particular BI platform server having the
BI document intended to be opened.
Type is the BI document type that has 2 valid values: 'webi', '<>'
iDocID is the CUID of the document. You should retrieve the CUID by accessing document
Properties on the BI platform (report designing client tool).
• For other parameters (reportPartKey, reportPageNumber, reportIndex, isInstance and
prompt ), you don't need to assign any specific values. However, they should be retained in the
URL syntax will null values assigned to them as shown in the above URL format.


2. Creating an SAP BI URL for opening a specific report within a BI document in the app
To give users access to a specific report within a BI document on their device, create an SAP BI URL
with the following format:
sapbi://OpenDoc/?ConnectionType=BOEConnection&connection_name=243&serv
er_url=10.53.129.243:8080&cms=10.53.129.243&Type=webi&iDocID=AXtcyDP4u09Jn1_P9BSR9H0&reportPartKey=&reportPageNumber=&reportIndex=5&isInstance=N&prompt=

ConnectionType, connection_name, server_url and cms are the regular SAP BI URL
parameters that help the app (on user's device) identify the particular BI platform server having the
BI document intended to be opened.
Type is the BI document type that has 2 valid values: 'webi', '<>'
iDocID is the CUID of the document. You should retrieve the CUID by accessing document
Properties on the BI platform (report designing client tool).
reportIndex is the index number of the report. The number count starts from zero. To give access
to nth report in the document, assign (n-1) as the value for this parameter.
For example, if you want users to get direct access to third report of the BI document, assign the
value (3-1)= 2 to the reportIndex in the URL.
• For other parameters (reportPartKey, reportPageNumber, isInstance and prompt ), you
don't need to assign any specific values. However, they should be retained in the URL syntax will
null values assigned to them as shown in the above URL format.

Please Note:
The SAP BI URL generated dynamically by the app (on using the Share option) may have values for
all parameters including the reportPageNumber and reportPartKey.
While creating the SAP BI URL manually, we do not recommend you to pass values for these parameters,
as they are not guaranteed to work in the application.
