SAP BusinessObjects Lumira Direction and Approach

SAP BusinessObjects Lumira 2.x plans to combine Lumira & Design Studio into one product:

Deliver both clients on common technology stack

Combine strength of both the clients

Enable seamless inter-operability between the clients

Deliver a revamped user experience

One product for data discovery and application design

Respect existing customer investment

Provide conversion from SAP Lumira 1.x and SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio 1.x documents and

applications respectively

Provide compatibility with 1.x SDK extensions of both SAP BusinessObjects Lumira and SAP BusinessObjects

Design Studio respectively

SAP Lumira 1.31 and SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio 1.6 remain in regular maintenance until end of 2017

Existing licenses can be used/converted



Design Studio Application Conversion Path

Design Studio 1.6

Existing Application

is running in 1.6

format

Application is saved

in 1.6 format

System

Upgrade

Edit

Create new application in new format, can interact

with Lumira Discovery client

Do you want to use the 2.0 features?

Do we want to have interoperability

scenario with Discovery client? Then

migrate the existing applications to

new format

Content

Conversion Lumira 2.0

Content

Conversion

After conversion, you should expect some efforts for manual adjustment, e.g.

- the stylesheets,

- some edge cases in charts,

- …..


SAP BusinessObjects Lumira Major Product Updates for Design Studio Customers

Upgrade and Content Conversion

The technical upgrade to Lumira 2.0 is independent from conversion of existing Design Studio 1.x applications

All existing Design Studio 1.6 applications are expected to run just like in Design Studio 1.6, without any change for end-users,

unless you deliberately decide to convert an application to the new 2.0 format to make use of new 2.0 features. Applications

can be converted individually and at any point after the technical upgrade.

New 2.0 applications will be based on InfoCharts and SAPUI5.m libraries only, older versions of respective libraries are kept in

the product for backwards compatibility reasons (see above), but cannot be used in new 2.0 applications. If you want to use

new 2.0 features in an existing 1.6 application, you need to convert the application. After conversion, you should expect some

effort for manual adjustment, e.g. the stylesheets, some edge cases in charts etc

Deprecated Options. Lumira 2.0 will not provide the following options any longer:

NetWeaver and native HANA deployments of Design Studio. Following the platform strategy, we will support only the

deployment on BI Platform going forward.

JDBC/SQL-based HANA connector. Following the HANA connection strategy, we will support only the HTTP/INA-based HANA

connector

32-bit client

• Re-usable across applications, stored

independent from the application on the BI
