Design Studio 1.6 to Lumira 2.2

[former_member371433]

Hello All,

We are moving from SAP BO 4.1 SP6 to SAP BO 4.2 SP6.

We have Design Studio 1.6 SP6 Dashboard, which we want to migrate to Lumira 2.2.

We tried below scenario and it worked properly:

1. We migrated Design Studio 1.6 SP6 dashboard from BO 4.1 env to BO 4.2 env.

2. Lumira server 2.2 was already installed on SAP BO 4.2 SP6 server and we were able to open migrated Design Studio 1.6 SP6 Dashboard.

3. Also, we were able to open Dashboard in Lumira Designer 2.2.

4. Dashboard was working fine.

We wanted to confirm if the above process is wise or there is any other process to upgrade dashboards from Design Studio 1.6 to Lumira 2.2? Also, we wanted to confirm that Lumira 2.2 has backward compatibility to adjust features and functionalities of previous version dashboards.

Kindly provide your views on same.

Thanks,

Kushal

Hi Kushal,

Please note the following:

I. "Upgrade from Design Studio 1.6/Lumira 1.3x Add-on to Lumira 2.0 Add-on is irreversible i.e uninstallation will not take you back to Design Studio 1.6 / Lumira 1.3x"

II. With regard to going from Design Studio 1.6 to Lumira 2.0, please note the following:

Please note that Design Studio 1.6 applications continue to run in a Lumira 2.0 environment without any changes. The only exception to this general rule is when your Design Studio application accesses HANA views directly through the legacy JDBC connector. In this case, * read SAP Note2512478 that contains important information. Otherwise, you can make the decision per application if and when to convert the application to 2.0. As a summary, you need to:

1) Perform a conversion into the so-called m Mode in the BI Platform or Local modes of Designer (those are actually the 1.6 compatibility modes). This is the main part of the 2.0 conversion, and if manual adjustments of your converted applications are necessary, they are mostly imposed by this step. That means, for 1.6 applications that are already in the m Mode, only few (if any) manual adjustments are expected in general.

2) Export the application (still in the compatibility modes of Designer)

3) Re-start Designer in Lumira Documents Mode, and import the export file from step 2) in a new or existing Lumira document.
The following adaptations need to be expected after conversion of a * mode application to an m mode application:

1) Update of the stylesheet that is used by the application (SAPUI5 m library uses different style classes than SAPUI5 * library). For shared stylesheets, this needs to be done only once.

2) Control the layout (size and position) of components, adjustments might be required. This is expected due to the changes (including the tabstrip one you mentioned) on this major release change (1.6 to 2.0).

3) Control converted charts. The following known issue might occur: Multiple Pie charts do not exist anymore. Replace with multiple single pie charts, or with a trellis pie chart.

Also, please refer the following SAP Notes:

2512478 - SAP BusinessObjects Lumira Designer 2.0 - HANA connections through HTTP/InA provider - usage restrictions

Also, please refer the following KBA in detail:

Thanks & Regards,
