Lumira support for other Data sources like relational DB?

[Former Member]

Do you know when will Lumira support relational DB other than SAP?

Pages 19-20 - generic drivers through SQL?

I was comparing Tableau vs Lumira. Tableau gives the options to connect to SQL Sever or Oracle without using middleware.

I guess Lumira has extra steps to connect to DB by installing middleware JDBC, or ODBC.

Hi,

As of SP13, we have pre-configured JDBC drivers (for SAP data sources - ERP, HANA... and salesforce.com). For other 3rd-party data sources, yes one would have to use the proper JDBC drivers.

With future SP14, mentions related to data sources will be removed from the documentation and centralized in the SAP Lumira PAM document

Best regards,

Also, you can surface relational sources via a BI Platform universe (semantic layer)

Why would you want to use a non-SAP relational DB?

Better yet ... Can you be more specific as to what relational DB you are specifically hoping for Lumira to support?
