Cause

  • The client number entered for the SAP BW System selected is not valid.

Resolution

  • Enter a valid client number for the SAP BW System you are connecting to.
     
  • To confirm the client number to use when connecting to the selected SAP BW System:
     
    • Contact your SAP BASIS Administrator to confirm the exact client number to use; OR
        
    • Connect to the same SAP BW System using the SAP Logon application, and it may by default show the client number to use in the login screen.
      Once you confirm you can successfully login using the SAP Logon with the client number, then use the same client number in Lumira.
           
      1. Launch the SAP Logon
      2. Select the SAP BW System you want to connect to, and click "Log on"
