Following are the known issues in this release of Oracle BI Mobile App Designer:
Section 2.1, "Internet Explorer 10 Not Supported in Compatibility Mode"
Section 2.2, "Some Design-Time User Interface Elements Display in English Only"
Section 2.3, "Upgrade Requires Manual Steps to Create bimad.log File"
When running Internet Explorer 10 browser in Compatibility mode you cannot open the Oracle BI Mobile Apps Library. To work around this issue, disable Compatibility mode, or use another HTML5 compliant browser listed in Table 1.
Some elements in the App Designer user interface, such as button labels, menus, property labels, and dialogs are available in English only regardless of your user interface locale preference setting. Note that this issue occurs in design time only, and does not impact translations of the apps or data at run time.
In the first release of BI Mobile App Designer log messages were written to the bipublisher.log file. Starting with the V2 release (11.1.1.7.10-BIMAD-PS1), BI Mobile App Designer creates its own log: bimad.log; however, if you are upgrading from the previous version, you must perform manual steps to create the bimad.log file in your system. If you do not perform these steps, the BI Mobile App Designer log messages will continue to write to bipublisher.log.
To create the bimad.log file in upgraded environments update the logging.xml file as follows:
Stop Oracle WebLogic Server.
Navigate to the logging.xml file under the BI Foundation Domain home, for example:
mw_home/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/config/fmwconfig/servers/bi_server1
Locate the <log_handlers> section of the file and add the following entry:
<log_handler name='bimad-handler' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'>
<property name='path' value='${domain.home}/servers/${weblogic.Name}/logs/bimad/bimad.log'/>
<property name='maxFileSize' value='10000000'/>
<property name='maxLogSize' value='100000000'/>
</log_handler>
Locate the <loggers> section of the file and add the following entry:
<logger name='oracle.bimad' level='WARNING:1' useParentHandlers='false'> <handler name='bimad-handler'/> </logger>
Save the logging.xml file and restart Oracle WebLogic Server.
After upgrading to release 12.2.1, apps that previously ran without error may cause the following exception:
The report you are trying to run exceeds the data limit set for this server.
BI Mobile App Designer supports Memory Guard, a set of properties originally introduced for Oracle BI Publisher to protect your system from out of memory errors. The default settings introduced into your system by the update will cause data limit errors when the data set size exceeds the default setting value.
To work around this issue, increase the data limit allowed as follows:
Launch the BI Mobile App Designer application directly from its URL:
http://<host>:<port>/mobile/
Click Administration.
From the Administration page, under System Maintenance, click Runtime Configuration.
Increase the value of the property Maximum report data size for online reports.
Note that these settings are shared with Oracle BI Publisher. Updating the setting here also updates it for BI Publisher.
