This session covers the “IT-side” of Lumira Server:

SAP Lumira Server architecture and how it works

How SAP Lumira Server uses SAP HANA as an application platform

Integration into SAP BI 4.1 landscapes

Licensing (SAP Lumira and SAP HANA)

What we won’t cover:

What Lumira Server is, and how to use it (See session 0507)

How to install Lumira Server (RTFM – Read The Friendly Manual )

HANA as a data source for Lumira Desktop (not a Lumira Server topic)

SAP Lumira Server is HANA Native

Lumira Server is a native HANA XS application

hosted on & managed by the HANA Platform:

• Administration using SAP HANA Studio

• Installation using HANA Lifecycle Manager (LCM)

• Identity & Access Management based on Hana platform /

users supporting manual authentication & SSO Support

(SAML / X.509)

• Logging & Tracing via XS trace logs

• Backup & Recovery as Hana Instance

• Load Balancing & Reverse Proxy Support

Lumira Stories Are Based on Data

Stories and Datasets:

• Lumira Storyboards are visualization

definitions applied to Lumira Datasets• Datasets are SAP HANA Views

• Views can be Analytic or Calc Views

• A HANA View == A HANA View

• Lumira Server can use a HANA View

created by any tool

Security:• A story can only represent what a

user is authorized to see (security at

the HANA View layer)

Datasets:

Stories:

• Consume/view previously created

storyboards

• Edit storyboards residing on server

• Create new storyboards using

visualizations based on datasets

Lumira on desktop, Web, and mobile:

• Goal of UX parity for desktop & Web

• Touch optimized for tablets

Server-based for scalability

• Work on large datasets without being

limited by your desktop

SAP Lumira Cloud has parity:

• Cloud is always up to date with latest

• Easiest way of using Lumira without a

Attribute Views:

Attribute views are used to define joins between tables, and also to select

columns and rows from a table.

Analytic Views:

Defined on at least one fact table that contains transactional data. Using ayou can create a selection of measures (sometimes called key figures), ad join attribute views. Analytic views leverage the computing power of SAP calculate aggregate data, e. g., the number of cars sold per country, or thepower consumed per day.

One stop for Lumira (and BI4!) sizing resources – mandatory reading!

Sizing is an art, not a science:

Multiple factors – HANA, XS, Lumira, use cases, Lumira feature sets

Sizing guide requires understanding (sorry, no cookie cutters )

Important factor: “user created” versus “authored datasets”

Lumira Server is relatively new, use cases are quite varied:

Customers are now using larger “real-world” datasets and use cases in pr
