Lumira governance on BI Platform 4.1SP5

Hello,
According to the last update of the BI Platform (4.1 SP5), we can now add Lumira Governance on the platform without Lumira Server or the BI Add-on.
We are trying to set this up but unfortunately we are not able to make it work. We followed this link
What we have
- BI Platform 4.1 SP5 installed on server called TheServer
- Lumira 1.21 installed on user's computer
What we did
- Add a LumiraGovernance.properties file in the appropriate folder (.sapvi)
- Contents :
enable=true
adapter.type=boe
authentication.type=secWinAD
rest.url=http://theserver:6405/biprws
useSSO=true
What we get
- When launching Lumira, an error pops up after it tries to connect to the server :
Could not acquire settings from Trusted Data Discovery source.
Error retrieving the Trusted Data Discovery governing data. Unexpected response status from server.
(HDB 14112)
- If useSSO=false in the properties file, we still have the same problem, but after entering the credentials.
Does one of you have any idea of what we are missing here?

Hello,
In the end I had an answer from the Lumira support, that I paste here :
According to our global support team, after some additional testing and cross-checking with development, it's come to the conclusion that in order to achieve the following in working order, you will still need and require the BI-Addon for the desktop governance functionality.
I may be trollling a little bit, but I find it a bit lame.
The SP5 was advertised with the fact that the Add-on is not needed for these functionalities. In the end it is not true.
For us, it will be a No-Go for deploying Lumira on a large scale; the Add-on needs Hana and we don't have it.
I hope this helps other persons who really hoped for and expected this functionality.

Lumira Server for BI Platform and Team/Edge consumption & licensing question

Hi. I have a few questions.
Question 1:
From my reading, I've heard that Lumira Edge/Team server may not be a part of BI-Suite License. I read a Lumira Server ASUG Webcast recap by Tammy Powlas here (SAP Lumira Server for Teams Roadmap ASUG Webcast) over the weekend and one of the Q&A questions struck me:
Q: Is this included with the BI Suite license from SAP?
A: Lumira Server for Teams (Edge Edition) is not covered under BI Suite License. However, Lumira Server for BI Platform (RTC Planned in April) is covered under BI Suite licenses
In a separate conversation late 2014, I thought I'd heard that Lumira Team/Edge server was supposed to be usable by BI Suite licensed customers, but it sounds like I'm mistaken?
Question 2:
Next, the second part of the statement gave me hope:
However, Lumira Server for BI Platform (RTC Planned in April) is covered under BI Suite licenses
I then looked at the Lumira Deployment Options for Departments Part 1 – ASUG Webcast by Tammy Powlas to get some more information on Lumira Server for BI Platform. This slide gave me some hope (emphasis mine in green):
But then I see some more information a little later:
Is this slide to imply that the version without HANA (or HANA XS) for BI Platform will only really just serve as a user rights management and Lumira document repository? And that if I want to view a Lumira document, I must still open from the Lumira Desktop client?
It was suggested I start a new discussion thread to ask this licensing question about a product that's not out yet (but the slide says it's GA so I'm still confused) so here I am with my discussion thread!
Hopefully someone can make me less confused. I'm hoping the answer is as a BI-Suite customer that we do not have to make a decision to either invest in new Edge/Team licenses or buy HANA XS hardware to establish a beachhead of Lumira usage in our organization. We've been struggling with promoting Lumira and the sharing piece has been the sore spot.

Hi Michael
You are right, it is confusing...
I think it will be better to contact sales to get this explained as opposed to technical support people that monitor this SCN Space.

Lumira Server on SAP HANA Cloud Platform?

Hi,
Can we run Lumira Server on SAP HANA Cloud Platform (not SAP HANA)?
Reason:
Unless there is a way to publish Lumira Story via Lumira Cloud to BI LaunchPad, otherwise I am only interested in the Lumira Desktop version at the moment. As we want to continue to pursue to have one central portal for all BI contents using BI LaunchPad.
Question:
In summary, is it possible to apply SAP Lumira Server on SAP HANA Cloud Platform?
See screenshots below for the ideal scenarios.

Hi Ken,
Great question.
Yes, absolutely you can.
As an example: I work with some customers who have small Hana estates "on-premise" (say, for Fraud on Hana, or BW HANA sidecar); as such they may not have the available infrastructure to decouple a sandbox Hana to evaluate new Hana Analytics innovations (like Lumira Server)
In such situations I recommend this page http://hcp.sap.com/platform.html to evaluate our Hana Cloud platform options.
If you scroll half-way down, you'll see a nice graphic under the heading "Choose the Service That's Best for You". (the 3 stacked pillars)
Depending on your own licensing particulars, you may already have a runtime license for Lumira Server (through your BI bundle), and you may already have HDB (database) licenses available in your enterprise, so potentially you need only the 'infrastructure service' (leftmost chart).
Then, I've seen this integrated into productive on-premise systems, typically (but optionally) via a "leased line" (between customer & provider (SAP)) , and a VPN tunnel in between to make the secure bridge.
It's a really neat way to get on the Hana journey: quick to deploy, flexible, and well priced.

H

SAP Lumira Add On for BI Platform - How to view Stories on iPad

Hi,
A quick shout out to anyone who may know the answer to this.
I have tagged my SAP Lumira stories in the 'Mobile' category, but they are not showing on the iPad, have I missed something?
Thanks
Howard

I don't think Mobile BI support is there yet for BI add-on for platform- right now you would need to publish those to Lumira Cloud to see on SAP Mobile BI
Also be sure to download the latest Mobile BI on iTunes - there was a release this week

A few questions on SAP Lumira

Hi guys,
Recently, I have started working on SAP Lumira, to see its functionality and I have a couple of questions as mentioned below.
Please advise if you have any clue on these.
1. How is the Security managed in Lumira? Is there anyway where we can maintain user profiles and roles in Lumira?
2. Is there any kind of transport request manager/organiser for Lumira?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
sure, there are lots of resources about the BIPlatform Add-On for Lumira Server.
see here in our Lumira community:

Lumira 1.17.1 is not working in windows7 32 bit OS

Hello Experts,
We recently upgrading the lumira desktop enterprise edition from 1.15 to 1.17.1 version in windows 7 SP1,32 bit OS.(4GB RAM)
We have installed 32 bit lumira desktop version with admin rights and installation was done without any errors.
When we click on SAPLumira.exe file,there is no action and nothing happen and we are not able to get the lumira screen.
Need your suggestions.
Regards,
Vinay

Hi,
is the problem systematically reproducible on all 'upgraded' workstations?
Are you able to try Uninstall SP15, then Install SP17 in 2 steps to see if that makes any difference?
before re-installing, additionally I would recommend deleting these locations (and their contents):
C:\Users\<user>\.sapvi
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\SAP\Lumira
first, shut down any other windows applications, then try 'run as admin' when starting/launching the application.
this could well be a platform/resource problem. 32 bit is not optimal for Lumira, hence the proposed move over here: http://scn.sap.com/message/15190775#15190775

Upcoming Lumira Webinar June 11th on the topic of "Big Data Visualization and Custom Extensions"

The next webinar in the Lumira series is coming up this week on Wednesday, June 11th, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Pacific Standard Time. The day is almost here and if you've already registered, thank you!
If not, please click here to register.
Speaker Profile:
The topic is presented by the Jay Thoden van Velzen, Program Director Global HANA Services/Big Data Services Center of Excellence at SAP!
Jay has been working in Analytics/Business Intelligence since it was called Decision Support Systems in the late 90s. Currently he is focused on Big Data solutions and how to make the various components of such a solution run smoothly integrated together using the SAP HANA Platform.
Abstract:
Big Data analysis poses unique and new challenges to data visualization, compared to more traditional analytics. Such analysis often includes frequency counts, analysis of relationships in a network, and elements of statistical and predictive modeling. In many cases, traditional visualization techniques of bar- and column charts, pie charts and line graphs are not the most appropriate. We have to avoid the “beautiful hairball” and make it easy for end users to absorb the information through clever use of filtering, transparency and interactivity. We will likely also need to provide more context to go with the visualization than we have been used to in traditional analytics. Moreover, in case of forecasts you need to include any confidence intervals in order not to mislead.
This means we need more chart types, and often the chart types you need may not exist, nor could the need for such chart types necessarily be foreseen. However, Lumira allows us to design and code our own D3.js visualizations and integrate it into Lumira while providing all the data access methods – including SAP HANA – that it provides out of the box. This means we can develop our visualizations to share the outcomes of Big Data analysis to exactly how we feel it should be presented. During the webinar we will show a number of examples, and specifically the integration of forecasts coming from R into Lumira through a Lumira custom extension.
We really hope to see you there!
Cheers!

Hi,
can you please clarify the below queries on SAP Lumira
1.can we install SAP Lumira in the BIP4.1 (Business Intelligence Platform 4..1) Platform?
2. Is this possible to publish the SAP LUmira objects to CMS Database to view it in BI Launchpad?
3. which Lumira version is having features to use Design studio objects and BW backend directly in Lumira
Thanks

On this:
1.can we install SAP Lumira in the BIP4.1 (Business Intelligence Platform 4..1) Platform?
** BI4.1 add-on is needed and it is not yet GA
2. Is this possible to publish the SAP LUmira objects to CMS Database to view it in BI Launchpad?
**BI4.1 add-on is needed; SAP has not released this
3. which Lumira version is having features to use Design studio objects and BW backend directly in Lumira
** this is not available yet. We heard at ASUG Annual Conference these would come in upcoming patches.

New Dataset button disabled in Lumira

Hello All,
We have installed licensed version of Lumira desktop. We are using version 1.17.2. When we connect to HANA system, in the 'Prepare' tab, the option to add 'New dataset' is disabled. However if we use Lumira to connect to SQL via ODBC, the option becomes enabled.
Also there multiple options under the 'Share' tab like Export as file, Publish to SAP HANA,publish to explorer, Lumira cloud, Lumira server, SAP Streamwork and publish to SAP BI available when we connect to SQL. However none of these options are available when we connect to HANA expect, publish to lumria server.
Has anyone faced similar issues? We are currently user HANA sp6 and we have not installed Lumira server on BI. In such situations is there a way to share the Lumira content among the users?
Also when I click on Help-> Enter Keycode, it says you can enter a keycode to unlock disabled features, but it also says I have installed SAP Lumira Perpetual licence. Is there any other license we need to install ?
Thanks,
Aamod.

Hi,
when working in HANA Online mode you are not acquiring any data locally into the local Sybase instance on the desktop. That's why you cannot enrich/transform the data (in prepare room).
With regards to Sharing, I presume you have a Story you want to publish, based on a HANA Online source. For reasons of security and governance, that data should not leave that HANA instance... Therefore, you can only publish to the Lumira Server which is hosted on that same HANA server.

H

How to integrate Lumira Story in SAP JAM Pages?

Hi,
I have developed a dashboard using LUMIRA version 1.18. The story create using desktop version has been shared in LUMIRA Cloud account with other users.
Now, the requirement is to publish/integrate this story in SAP JAM page.
I am searching on this for quite a long time and didn't find any helpful article on this.
Kindly share your knowledge on this.
Regards,
Poornesh K V

Hi,
the link that Tammy shared is for the BI platform and Jam integration, if you use BI platform then you can take advantage of this, but there is no integration with Lumira Cloud and Jam.
AFAIK Jam does not have the ability to embed the openDocument URL that Lumira Cloud provides in an iframe, but you may just be able to post the openDocument link and have people click on it.

Christina

Configuring SAP BI server in Lumira Preferences to support SSL

Hello all ,
We are currently on SAP BI 4.1 SP 5 FP 3 and we have installed the latest version of SAP Lumira .
We have also implimented SSL for secured login to BI launch pad ,CMC -etc .
Is it possible to configure the SAP BI server URL in Lumira preferences to supports https based URL ?
The default URL looks like - http://<server name>:6405/biprws
If possible then please assist me to identify where and what I need to configure . We are currently on Windows environment .

Have a look at this, although it talks about Team Server, it will be applicable to the BI system.
Note that without the BI add-on, you will only be able to use the platform for viewing, just file storage.

Lumira on HCP or Cloud Lumira server with backend as HANA DB

Hi
I have developed Lumira stories in desktop version and deployed in trial version of Cloud Lumira server.
But not able to connect HANA DB as backend to create stories in Cloud Lumira.
is there any way to create Cloud Lumira stories with backend as HANA DB ? i'm able to achieve this in desktop version and again not able to publish to Cloud Lumira.
i tried with Hana Cloud Platform trial account.
But i dont find Lumira Server on HCP. Only Cloud lumira is available where we are not able to connect with HANA DB.
Is Lumira is available on HCP ? or how to connect HANA DB with Cloud lumira server?
I'm new to Lumira developments, Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks & Regards
Yokesvaran Kumarasamy

I don't think you will be able to connect to those with trial accounts; those are typically limited in data sources
