3 Administering MicroStrategy Mobile Mobile Design and Administration Guide web server). The installMSTRMobile file must be installed in the same directory as the application files. The administrator also creates the following MIME type associations on the web server: • .jad: text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor • .cod: application/vnd.rim.cod For instructions on deploying files to your web server and creating MIME type associations, see the web server’s documentation. The Blackberry user points the BlackBerry Browser to the installed installMSTRMobile file. The words “Click here to install MicroStrategy Mobile on your BlackBerry device.” appear on the screen. Clicking the link opens a dialog box with information about the MicroStrategy Mobile application. The user clicks the Download button, and the application is downloaded and installed onto the user’s BlackBerry. Installing the application on individual devices Individual users can also tether their BlackBerry to a computer and use BlackBerry Desktop Manager to install the MicroStrategy Mobile application. The library file MSTRMobile.alx must be loaded onto the BlackBerry. This file automatically loads the appropriate Java files to run the application. For instructions on how to install an application on a BlackBerry with BlackBerry Desktop Manager, see the documentation provided with BlackBerry Desktop Manager. BlackBerry Desktop Manager must be using the same or later version of the BlackBerry software as the device. For example, if Desktop Manager is version 4.1 and the BlackBerry is version 4.2, you will be unable to load the MicroStrategy Mobile application onto the device. Configuring MicroStrategy Mobile for BlackBerry After installing the MicroStrategy Mobile application, you must configure it so that it can communicate with your MicroStrategy system. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) enables you to set an IT Policy for its client applications. With this IT Policy, you can configure all the devices at once. For details on the settings for the MicroStrategy Mobile application IT Policy, see Configuring multiple devices automatically, page 164. For detailed instructions on how to deploy an IT Policy over the BES, see the documentation provided with the BES. 162 Deploying and configuring the MicroStrategy Mobile application © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
Mobile Design and Administration Guide Administering MicroStrategy Mobile 3 If you are not using an IT Policy, you can create a Mobile configuration from the Mobile Server Administrator page, or you can configure individual devices through the Mobile application’s Preferences screen. For instructions on creating a Mobile configuration, see Configuring the application from Mobile Server Administrator. For instructions on configuring an application manually, see Configuring the application from the BlackBerry device, page 174. Information needed to configure the application To retrieve report data from a Mobile Server, you must specify the following information about that server: • The server name • The port the server is running on • The path to the MicroStrategy Mobile application • The application type (ASP.NET for Mobile, or J2EE for Mobile Universal) • The authentication mode (anonymous, basic, or Windows) and login information used to access the server’s virtual directory • Whether the requests are sent as HTTP (unsecured) or HTTPS (secured) For more information about the difference between HTTP and HTTPS, see SSL encryption, page 117. In addition, you must provide the following information for each project containing reports or documents to be viewed in Mobile: • The project’s name • The name of the Intelligence Server that hosts the project • The port number for that Intelligence Server • The authentication mode and login information used to access the reports or documents in the project By default, MicroStrategy Mobile uses standard MicroStrategy authentication to identify the user logging in to projects on the MicroStrategy Mobile Server. However, you can use any of the supported forms of authentication to log in to the server: standard authentication, Windows credentials, warehouse authentication, or LDAP authentication. For details about the different authentication modes, see the Setting up User Security chapter in the MicroStrategy System Administration Guide. © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
