      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.
