Setting up on BusinessObjects Explorer on the iPhone with BI4

[TammyPowlas]

Last week I saw this tweet from karsten.ruf of SAP Solution Management:

Interested in a 1:1 feedback session with product mgmt? If you run #SAP #Explorer Mobile on the iPhone against a #BI 4.0 system, DM me

So I took him up on it.  I hadn't set up BusinessObjects Explorer on the iPhone yet - not sure why I hadn't considered it before.  His tweet set me to action.

I was struggling entering the Server URL of the Explorer server, so sure enough I did DM Karsten, and he helped me.

He sent me this screen shot:

I was missing the /explorer in the Server URL.  Once I put that in, I was up and running with Explorer on the iPhone and even Explorer on the iPad1 in no time.  I could "explore" the ECC Universes I had set up on the Explorer InfoSpaces as well. 

The above picture is "exploring" the eFashion universe from my iPhone.

Special thanks to Karsten for his fast help.
