Recently, one of my clients wanted to spin up Oracle Business indicators, an application to provide Apple Iphone users with real time, secure business information generated by OBIEE and other Oracle Applications.
However, viewing the reports generated by OBIEE on the Iphone requires further configuration of the OBIEE presentation server as the Iphone presently does not support Flash displayed on web pages. So reports that contain Flash components like charts are not displayed correctly.
We can modify the instanceconfig.xml file to display charts in a custom graphic format like PNG or JPEG instead of flash.
Include the following in <Server Instance> section of instanceconfig.xml
<Charts>
<DefaultImageType>PNG</DefaultImageType>
</Charts>
It is recommended that you configure a separate presentation server to cater to the mobile device users as displaying charts in PNG or JPEG disables some of the interactive features offered by Flash.
