Hi,
I would like to add two points.
SAP Lumira can connect to SAP NW BW through UNX universes (not to Bex Queries, but InfoCubes, InfoProviders and so on can be accessed).
SAP Lumira (starting with release 1.13) can connect to Apache Hadoop Hive.
For any up to date list of free-hand SQL connections, please refer to the SAP Lumira PAM available online here: https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/support/pam/pam.html?smpsrv=https://websmp104.sap-ag.de#ts=0. Then search SAP Lumira 1.0.
Best regards,
Antoine
How could I have almost forgotten about HADOOP!??!?! !!!!
Good points Antoine!
I just came across this great video from Sapphire Now about SAP HANA, and Hadoop~

*woo woo*
Hello Antonie,
Here, I have a requirement to use BEx queries on Lumira and I can create universe of type (.unv) on top of bex queries. Will Lumira standard or personal edition accept universe of type (.unv) also or only (.unx) ?
Please help..
Thanks a lot
Renju
Hi - I think Antoine already answered you here - BEx queries on a universe (UNV) are not supported.
If you obtain the standard edition the newer universes are supported but check the PAM for the BI4.x requirements
Generally speaking, access to BEx Queries is not supported for the moment in SAP Lumira.
