SAP Lumira over BW
Hi
I've downloaded the trial Client version and I managed to build a simple visualization over a BW query, but I have a few questions:
1. I don;t have any ability to compose or share my report.
Is it a limitation when working over BW?
2. Is it possible to publish my report to BO Launch pad? I don't want to publish corporate data to the cloud.
Thanks
Shlomi
Hi Shlomi, yes it sounds a bit complicated... And it is ! But that's SAP usual way of building / licensing products. Sometimes I think the next recruitment process will be to incorporate someone to deal with SAP exclusively :S
The main reason for this set up complexity is that you need Lumira Server to run your Lumira visualizations and storys (even need it manage and share extensions, something you can't do in the cloud version...) and Lumira Server runs on HANA XS Engine. So you also need that :S
But you should explore this in more detail, because in the end you shouldn't need the appliance itself, but the XS engine, and you can get licensing for that exclusively (via HANA Basic license...) and with the posibility of using own infrastructure, maybe you can find a way around the complexity
Cheers !

Access to SAP Lumira cloud fails
Hi,
I am trying to share the data set & visulizations created in Lumira to the SAP Lumira cloud. When I try to publish to Cloud; I always get a warning message"Session could not be opened" (as attached) during logon. I have never been able to go past this.
However my Lumira cloud account is valid and I am able to successfully logon to https://cloud.saplumira,com
Please let me know the reason behind this session logon error.
Thanks,
SreedevHi,
I see this a lot :
new Lumira Cloud account - works ok over a browser
new Lumira desktop install - Cloud account login doesn't work ... wrong password etc
How to solve this ? it's quite easy actually:
Use a browser like Chrome.
access the Cloud URL . Do NOT click login (i.e. to accept the token) -> click Cancel instead .
this gives you the option to enter a user/pwd manually.
Click "reset password"
get your new password via email.
Login to cloud Manually.
Login to Desktop Manually.
it will work.

SAP Lumira - Implementing row level security
Hi All,
I aware that SAP Lumira 1.17 onward allows to share the datasets, stories to SAP Lumira Server as well as SAP BI Platform (4.1 SP3 onward).
But I would like to know if there is any way of implementing Row level security for this published contents i.e. datasets or stories. e.g. If user A (may be an administrator with access to all the regions) creates dataset and story and shares it with other users over SAP Lumira Server or SAP BI Platform. But when user B accesses these contents on any platform, SAP Lumira server or SAP BI Platform, he should be able to see data only as per his access (his own region). Can something of this sort be implemented?
Thanks,
AbhijitHi,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
As per my understanding - as of today, we respect Row-level security when acquiring (fetching) the data from universe into Lumira desktop (also, contexts and business-security profiles i.e. columns)
now, when that desktop user has 'designed' the Lumira document, all of the above: row-level, contexts and security profiles are 'locked-down' into that artefact when shared onwards. (i.e. to Lum Server and hence, BI Platform)
once this content is being access from the BI Launchpad, refresh-on-demand is possible from the story, as well as scheduling of dataset on which it is based.
According this blog by Greg Wcislo (the product owner for the Add-on) Lumira integration for BI4 functionality detailed. note that features such as 'refresh on open' and 'changing design-time parameters' (i.e. prompts) are not yet supported, but very much in future scope / plans.
I believe that one of the other mid-term goals is to architect a 'Lumira server-side universe refresh' (i.e. so that the processing is handled 100% by Lumira server) rather than querying across BIPlatform services then replicating a dataset to HANA (which is currently the process flow)
I hope this helps.

SAP Lumira Connection to Protected App Server
Hi All,
Report in lumira on top of a universe, requires connection to BI application server (CMS Name, User ID & Password).
But in our production server we have siteminder integration and business users are not allowed to connect to application server directly, in this case can we use URL instead of CMS name OR is it possible to connect to application server without port opening to use Lumira ?
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit SharmaHi,
according to the help guide http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/vi01/en/lum_117_user_en.pdf
section 5.9.1 Connecting to a universe datasource
-> Enter the name or IP address of the server hosting your Central Management Server (CMS).
I feel this would be a very strong topic for consideration and future inclusion. Please could you submit your enhancement to the Lumira Ideas Place? (over here: SAP Lumira: Home )
I seem to remember someone asking for the ability to connect to an @Clustername but can't find it alas..

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:

SAP LUMIRA SERVER V1.18
The process I followed is as follows:
1. Create Users:
CONFIG: Assign the role sap.bi.admin :: BI_CONFIGURATOR. Some other role or privilege required?
TECNICO: Assign the role sap.bi.common :: BI_TECH_USER. Some other role or privilege required?
ANALISTA: Assign the role sap.bi.common :: BI_DATA_ANALYST. This user is the one that has the role to publish in Lumira sap server. Some other role or privilege required?
2. Entry to http: // <HOSTNAME> 80 <INSTANCE> / sap / hana / xs / FormLogin /
I sign in with the password created in hana studio for each user and then make the change the password of each user CONFIG - TECNICO – ANALISTA
3. Entry to http://<HOSTNAME>:80<INSTANCE>/sap/bi/launchpad/fiori
I sign in with the user CONFIG and in the catalag administration of sap Lumira server income in the field Enter technical user TECNICO, so I confirm the sql connection.
4. Entry to http: // <HOSTNAME> 80 <INSTANCE> / sap / hana / xs / admin
I sign in with the user CONFIG sap.bi.launchpad.logic.v2 following path of the package and confirm that the sql connection is for the user TECNICO
5. Entry to Sap lumira Desktop, sign in with the user ANALISTA to access the dataset, I create visualization and history, the last step is to publish the dataset and story in SAP Lumira server, for this I sign in with the user ANALISTA but when I clic on the button PUBLISH IN SAP LUMIRA SERVER is show me this error:
Error - The dataset could not be published to SAP Lumira Server because publishing to the SAP HANA layer failed. Reason is ''. (HDB 11009)
I searched many blogs of sap and tested with the following options but None of the above helped me to solve the problem.

You are trying to connect to the cloud system and not the HANA system underneath.
In order to do the same, you can follow the scn

Connecting Hana view to SAP Lumira
Hi ,
I created a view in Hana system and used the Connect to SAP HANA One source option in SAP Lumira for the Dataset.
On the next screen i am able to see all views under different packages from HANA, but i am not able to see the new view created by me.
My questions -
1) Do i need to have certain privileges in order to see the newly created view in the view list at lumira level?
2) Any Steps which i am missing in addition to creating an anayltic view, adding a data foundation to the view ?
Regards
Chaitanya SharmaHi Chaitanya,
Check if the Schema and the package containing the AN view you have created is assigned to your USERNAME under Object & Package privilege respectively.
And while connecting to HANA System in Lumira login with the USER which has these assigned objects. Check if this helps

Restiction on SAP Lumira user with BI_DATA_ANALYST role
Hi,
Is there an option to disable the SAP Lumira user with BI_DATA_ANALYST role from loading the Excel data into SAP Hana? We would like the user to be able to create story boards and publish it on SAP LUMIRA server using HANA views but not allow him to load any flat file data.
Thanks,
LakshmiManish - if you are on BI4 there is no need for the SAP Integration Kit with Web Intelligence
You can connect using the BEx Query
For Lumira right now you can connect using the BEx query but only in the Visualize room - more enhancements are planned in 1.27 - see SAP Lumira Webcast including H1 Plans with BW Updates
I don't think Gateway is needed in these scenarios

Hi we are doing a POC on SAP Lumira using Freehand SQL for our business users.
We are trying to connect SQL Server 2012 / Oracle 12.
Taking both the routes I am hitting the same roadblock.
Java Class not found in classpath .com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver.
I downloaded both JDBC Driver 4.0 & 4.1 and tried to setup the jar executable but still I am getting the same error.
Am i placing the driver in correct location.
C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Desktop\plugins\com.businessobjects.connectionserver.standalone_3.2.4.B_20141030-231603\ConnectionServer\drivers\java
I even tried completely copying the folder content of 4.0 & 4.1 to the following location after seeing salesforce folder there. We are able to connect to Salesforce without any issues.
C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Desktop\plugins\com.businessobjects.connectionserver.standalone_3.2.4.B_20141030-231603\ConnectionServer\jdbc\drivers
But I still end up with same error after installing the drivers from the preferences in LUMIRA.
What am I missing do I need to EDIT any SBO file or Classpath XML file add the String for SQL Server for it to work correctly.
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Best
Monty.Hi Monty - please have a look at the Lumira PAM at support.sap.com/pam
https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001095842012E
Pages 8- 9
It references different JDBC drivers than you do - can you check?

SAP Lumira 1.18 - Error while publishing story to Lumira Server
Hi,
I installed Lumira Server and did the configuration in SAP Fiori as mentioned in the blog below.
Simplified SAP Lumira Server Feature Configuration
I created following users with mentioned roles.
LSADMIN - sap.bi.admin::BI_CONFIGURATOR and sap.bi.admin::BI_ADMIN
LUMIRADEV - sap.bi.common::BI_DATA_ANALYST
LUMIRADEMO - sap.bi.common::BI_DATA_CONSUMER
I logged into SAP Fiori with LSADMIN and successfully added Lumira Configuration Tile to New Group "SAP Lumira Server" and Configured all the roles for Technical user (LUMIRATECH) that has sap.bi.common::BI_TECH_USER role assigned. It was successful. Please see the screenshot below.
After this when I tried to publish a story (created using excel data) from SAP Lumira Desktop application to SAP Lumira Server with LUMIRADEV user, I am getting below error.
Do I need to give any additional privileges to LUMIRADEV/LUMIRADEMO ids to be able to create/view stories?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
AbhijitHi Henry,
We have SAP HANA SPS 08 Database Revision 82.
I suspect this is an issue with some HANA Authorizations. So as a random trial, I assigned MODELLING role to LUMIRADEV user and also granted SELECT rights on LUMIRADEV schema to _SYS_REPO with grant option. Post that I noticed, I could publish Stories created on HANA in Online mode to Lumira Server with out any issue but still having same issue for other data sources e.g. HANA Offline, Excel etc.
Please let me know if there are any additional rights required for LUMIRADEV user.
Thanks,
Abhijit
