Getting Familiar with SAP Lumira 1.27 BW Connectivity

First, thanks goes to SAP’s Paul Smith for writing Auto-Update Changes in SAP Lumira 1.27

Following his steps, I was able to update Lumira Desktop to 1.27 from SAP Store.

As Eric Yew says SAP Lumira on BW (Part 1) you need to install an extension for BW, similar to the Universe Query Panel extension.

Go to File > Extensions

In Extension Manager select the Install icon

Then restart Lumira Desktop

I selected the Download from Business Warehouse and selected local connections.  No issues so far..

I search for my BEx Query

All my variables are optional so I move to the next screen

I select the measures and dimensions for Lumira as shown above; leaving behind the WBS extension

So before this release with a BEx query I could only see the Visualize room; now I see all 4 – Prepare, Visualize, Compose, Share

Because I am lazy, I always select the related visualizations first

The compose room is different; there is no longer the InfoGraphic/Report selection.  I select blank.

Above is a simple story

I can share the BEx query story to Lumira Cloud

This is how it looks on Lumira Cloud.  So it is end to end from selecting the BEx query to sharing the story.
