Title: IBM Cognos Mobile application rebranding option
Post by: mtirpude on 16 Jan 2013 03:17:41 AM
We have recently created few Cognos iPad Apps.
We want to create a customized COGNOS mobile app for iOS/Android mobile platforms. So basically this customized mobile app will have our company branding, custom splash screen, application logo's and anything that we can leverage. To achieve this, we need Cognos mobile client for iOS/Android (Xcode /Android Project which we can customize).
It will help us create a customized mobile app and upload it on Apple Store/Google Market. Is it possible to get IBM Cognos mobile client for iOS/Android (Xcode /Android Project) which we can customize as per our needs?.

Regards,
Manish Tirpude

I suggest you take a look at the Andriod apps for Cognos out there.

IBM does not supply an Android version of the IPAD app, but Active Reports are really nothing more than MHT which is a WEB based archive file.
You can use the SDK to handle the handshaking to get the most recent documents, brand the interface anyway you like.

There are several different "Cognos viewers" for Android all basically built this way, I am sure you could do the same thing to customize your Apple version.

Having Cognos Mobile loaded on your server may even provide all of the interfacing you need, I am not even sure if the SDK is necessary.

Just a thought.
