2437847 - How to repoint Lumira documents at a different data source type?

Symptom

  • How to point an existing Lumira document, based on a given data source A, to a different type of data source B
  • Example: how to modify a Lumira document created with 'Query with SQL' extension to refresh data from HANA or BW

Environment

  • SAP Lumira All Versions

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a new Lumira document using 'Query with SQL' data access extension
  2. Modify the connection pointing it to BW/HANAso that the document refreshes against BW/HANA

Cause

It is not possible to port documents across data types - this functionality is not provided as of Lumira 1.31.

Resolution

  • Lumira documents can only be repointed to data sources of the same type - 'See Also' section below points to relevant articles
  • If Lumira document is based off of an OLAP connection changing the location of the OLAP connection will allow the Server only to look at a new datasource.
