3 Administering MicroStrategy Mobile Mobile Design and Administration Guide • In UNIX/Linux: After you deploy MicroStrategy Mobile Server Universal and log on to the mstrMobileAdmin servlet using proper authentication, the Mobile Server Administrator web page opens. The default location of the Administrator servlet varies depending on the platform that you are using. 2 From the pane on the left, select Mobile Configuration. 3 Click Define New Configuration. 4 From the Device drop-down list, select either Android Phone or Android Tablet to create a configuration for the desired device. 5 In the Configuration Name field, type the name of the configuration. This is the name that is displayed in the configuration list. Configure the Android Phone or Android Tablet settings 6 Select either the Phone Settings or Tablet Settings tab. 7 From the Memory Limit drop down list, select the amount of memory that is available to the application. Values include 25 MB, 50 MB, 100 MB, 250 MB, 500 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 3 GB, or 4 GB. The application uses the lower of this value and the available memory on the device. Reports and documents render faster when more memory is available to the application. The default value is 250 MB. 8 In the Network Timeout field, specify how long, in seconds, the application should wait for the network to respond before reporting a timeout. The default value is 60 seconds. 9 In the Maximum Columns in Grid field, specify the maximum number of columns displayed at one time in a grid report. If the number of columns in the grid exceeds this value, the user can scroll to see additional columns. The default value is 10 columns. 10 By default, the maximum canvas to screen ratio is set to 25. This default setting is ideal for displaying reports and documents on most device screens. Some devices with high screen resolutions can experience rendering problems with this default setting. To solve rendering problems for your reports and documents on high resolution screens, lower the value in the Maximum canvas to screen ratio field. 11 In the Check for new subscriptions every field, type how often, in seconds, the application checks for new versions of subscribed reports and documents on Intelligence Server. The default value is 600 seconds. 136 Deploying and configuring the MicroStrategy Mobile application © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
Mobile Design and Administration Guide Administering MicroStrategy Mobile 3 12 In the Validate device caches every field, type how often, in seconds, the application should validate the report and document caches on the device with Intelligence Server. This check only invalidates a cache on the device if the corresponding cache on Intelligence Server is invalid or expired; it does not check whether any changes have been made to the original report or document. The default value is 600 seconds. 13 Some reports and documents have the pre-caching feature enabled, but do not use server side caching. To increase the execution performance for these objects, you can force the application to use the local caches for a specified amount of time. To do this, select the Cache real-time data for check box, and in the field, specify the number of seconds that a local cache remains valid. For instructions on configuring reports, documents, or the contents of a folder to be pre-cached, see Configuring the home screen for iPhone and Android Phone or Configuring the home screen for iPad or Android Tablet. If caching for a specific report or document has been disabled, you can still force it to use the pre-cache feature on a mobile device. To do this, open the report or document in Desktop, open the corresponding Report Caching Options or Document Properties dialog box, and click the Allow mobile devices to cache data temporarily to optimize performance check box. 14 By default, users can view and change the configuration settings in the Settings screen in the application. To prevent users from changing the configuration settings for the application, clear the Allow users to access settings check box. 15 By default, if a cache exists for a subscribed report or document, that cache is loaded when the user opens that report or document, and only for the page-by selection or layout that is opened. This speeds up initial access to the application. To allow access to reports and documents even when the connection to the network is intermittent, select the Automatically pre-load subscriptions check box. If this check box is selected, caches are loaded for all subscribed reports and documents when the application is launched. 16 By default, MicroStrategy Mobile caches the contents of folders, and does not refresh the folder unless the user shakes the device while in the folder screen. To disable folder caching and refresh folders every time that the user opens them, clear the Cache folders check box. 17 By default, reports and documents are cached on the device until either the memory limit is reached or a newer version of the report or document is available. This allows access to reports and documents even when the © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc. Deploying and configuring the MicroStrategy Mobile application 137
