Retrieving the Report in MicroStrategy Mobile

Once a report has been sent to the History List, it is available on Mobile Server. Mobile then retrieves the report from the server, either during its scheduled update time or during a manual update. To schedule when reports are retrieved from Mobile Server, and to retrieve reports immediately, see the MicroStrategy Mobile Analysis Help.

Mobile retrieves reports from Mobile Server by report ID (a unique 32-character identifier) and report type. Graph reports are stored on the mobile device as JPG image files. Other types of reports are compressed to roughly one-tenth their original size, using LZW compression. This keeps the memory footprint of each individual report as small as possible, and also reduces the amount of bandwidth that the reports use during reconciliation.

In MicroStrategy Mobile for iPhone, iPad, or Android, the administrator can control how much memory is available for use by reports in the Memory Limit setting in the device configuration. For instructions on changing this setting, see Configuring MicroStrategy Mobile for iPhone or iPad or Configuring MicroStrategy Mobile for Android.
