Tm1Web sheet viewing on PDA

Post by Lewis »

We are running Tm1web using integrated login ( with special report homepage for clients) within our firewall . My boss wanted to know if he could access this via his Blackberry.

Since I am coming at this from outside of the firewall - I am not sure where to begin .

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

There are a couple options, dont know which ones could apply to you in this situation. Unfortunately none of them are terribly good.

1) If your company has a Blackberry Enterprise Server you can allow the handhelds on your network through the BES. Not the most secure, but I know companies that do this.

2) There are VPN clients for the blackberry that would allow them to connect in through the VPN.


The other issue that you are going to run into is that unless you are accessing through a fully HTML compliant browser (which Blackberry wise I only beleive the newest touchscreen model comes with) is how the page will render on the standard blackberry browser. This by itself is going to be the biggest stumbling block.
