Hi Tammy,
any information on what datasources will be available for Lumira Edge (Team Server)? Only using XLS data is not sufficient, even for SMEs. Connection to a SAP system (using JavaConnector, JSON, Odata) possible?
Thanks & Regards
Wolfgang
Hi Wolfgang - I recommend reading this blog by one of the SAP product managers Ashish Morzaria SAP Lumira, Edge edition: What Is It?
It might be better to ask questions about that in that thread, as I don't have any details myself.
