Hi Everyone

 

What a week! Between 2014 World Cup and Lumira 1.17 GA, I can barely keep my head straight!

 

By now you should be able to access on SMP:

  • SAP Lumira 1.17 for your desktop
  • SAP Lumira Server 1.17
  • SAP Lumira Cloud, updated to the latest release

 

In the next day or two, please expect to see on SMP the Lumira add-on component for BI 4.1 platform. The official name of this component is:

  • SAP BusinessObjects BI, add-on for SAP Lumira

 

In this release, SAP Lumira Server requires updates to your HANA system. Please also ensure to check the PAM (Product Availability Matrix) document and release restriction notes before you start.

 

SAP Lumira Server 1.7 requires:

  • SAP HANA 1.0 SP8 (rev 80)
    • Make sure SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager (SAP HANA LCM) is installed on your HANA server box
    • Make sure SAP HANA Studio 1.0 SP8 is installed on the administrator's client OS and can connect to your HANA server
  • SAP SAL AFL component - SAP HANA Application Function Library (AFL) for the Self-serviceAnalytics Library (SAL) component
  • SAP Lumira Desktop 1.17 to publish datasets and stories

 

SAP BusinessObjects BI, add-on for SAP Lumira (a.k.a Lumira add-on) requires:

  • SAP Lumira Server 1.7, which requires components listed above including SAP HANA 1.0 SP8
  • SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.1 SP3 platform
  • SAP Lumira Desktop 1.17 to publish datasets and stories

 

Here is the landscape view of how the Lumira add-on component connects the servers behind the scene.

We understand that installation of SAP HANA adds complexity to your deployment planning and thank you for taking your time and initiatives to post AWESOME step-by-step instructions and sharing your experience. We are also working on coming up with a summarized pre-flight checklist to be used in conjuntion with product documentation and with the additional blogs.

 

Finally, we are aware of your feedback inquiring why you need HANA to integrate Lumira to BI 4.  Simply said, it is the fastest way we can bring the capabilities built on Lumira Server into the BI 4 environment with minimum delay and gaps while taking advantage of the power that HANA can offer. In the future, you can look forward to enjoying more Lumira capabilities within your BI 4 infrastructure. We understand that not every organization is ready to deploy HANA today. We are also carefully looking into various ways to make your SAP and Lumira experience simpler for you.  We just want to let you know that everything you tell us is being heard and thought through.

 

Looking forward to hearing more from you about your experience and application of SAP Lumira 1.17!
