Exploring Retail Samples Using the Mobile Viewer


If you are licensed for WebFOCUS Mobile products, then you can use the Mobile Viewer to access content from any folder in your WebFOCUS repository from a simple, touch-based interface.

Access the following URL from your mobile device:

http://yourserver:port/ibi_apps/mv/path_to_your_folder

where:

yourserver

Is the host name or IP address of the system that is hosting WebFOCUS.

port

Is the port number used by WebFOCUS on the deployed system.

path_to_your_folder

Is the path to your WebFOCUS content in your WebFOCUS repository.

The Retail Samples workspace includes a Mobile folder with two subfolders, as shown in the following image.

Each subfolder includes shortcuts to content residing elsewhere in the workspace. Update the URL with your server information, email these two URLs to yourself, and then access the Mobile Viewer feature from your mobile devices:

  • Demo 1 for Tablets:
    http://yourserver:port/ibi_apps/mv/Retail_Samples/Mobile/Demo1
  • Demo 2 for Phones:
    http://yourserver:port/ibi_apps/mv/Retail_Samples/Mobile/Demo2
