3 Introduction to product road maps Purpose Product road maps are designed to support the product adoption planning activities of SAP customers. A product road map helps a customer match short term and long term goals with technology plans. A product road map describes how the feature / function capabilities in an SAP product or technology are planned to progress over time, in general: Today = changes in the current release version Planned Innovations = changes planned in upcoming development releases (next months) Future Direction = proposed themes for a product or technology beyond the planned releases The product road maps are targeted for use by IT planners, enterprise architects, SAP Consulting, and SAP consulting partners. Complementary resources For a more general description of the business problems / processes being solved and supported by SAP, refer to Solution Road maps. For more detailed technical information please refer to the Product Availability Matrix, Rampup Knowledge Transfer materials and product documentation. 6

10 Design beautiful, responsive & personalizable BI apps Personalized online composition for end-uses Seamless data access to BW, HANA, UNX, ESP event streaming Embedded BI & Fiori integration Powerful developer support: DS extension SDK, DS data source SDK & Lumira SDK Full OLAP & planning support Out-of-the-box templates for Analysis, Planning, Mobile, Desktop, Self-Service Deployment options: HANA, NW, BI State of the art HTML5 rendering & mobile support Release 1.4 Planned Nov

11 Major product updates Drag and drop in navigation panel & navigation panel usability Context menu in crosstab Cell locking (for planning apps) Report to Report Interface Script API extensions & global functions Multi language support Enhanced standard analysis template Online composition of apps & bookmarking Data source SDK Lumira (CVOM) SDK Real-time streaming Fiori / sfin integration Release 1.4 Planned Nov

12 Panel drag & drop and context menu Drag & drop for navigation and filter panel Intuitive navigation via drag & drop in navigation panel Designer can set drag & drop options in navigation panel properties Context menu Context menu For example: Sort, Display, Hierarchy, Totals, Filter, Change Drilldown, Attributes Report-Report Interface - Jump to New components Drag & drop within Navigation panel Checkbox group analog to Radiobutton Group plus multiselection Release 1.4 Planned Nov

13 RRI & planning enhancement Report-Report Interface With the RRI, it is possible to call a jump target online from an application during runtime. Queries, transactions, reports and applications from different source systems can be jump targets, along with web addresses. Parameterization of the target action is taken from the drilldown of the cells from which you jump. New component Context Menu gives the designer full flexibility Cell lock planning It is now possible to lock individual input-ready cells in an application for planning purposes During runtime you can now freeze one or more selected values while planning others. Release 1.4 Planned Nov

14 Scripting extensions Global scripting functions In complex application script code is called several times, Prior to 1.4, it was usually assigned to an invisible button. It is now possible to create any number of the new technical component type "Global Script Objects, which provides a grouping of global script functions. Easier building and maintanance of applications. e.g. set visible and set CSS classes for such panels Release 1.4 Planned Nov

15 Multi language support Multi language support Work with Design Studio applications in native language Design time is still English, DS applications are fully translatable New component text pool to add translations centrally Release 1.4 Planned Nov

16 Online composition Use Case 1 - Fragment Bookmarking The Designer can determine what containers can be saved as a Fragment Bookmark. Fragment bookmarks allow the user to bookmark a section of an application. This ensures bookmarks are immune from UI changes introduced in a Design Studio application. Fragment Bookmark Fragment Bookmark Release 1.4 Planned Nov

17 Online composition Use Case 2 - Online Composition Allows end-users to easily customize & personalize their apps Create your own fragments Users can create fragments from their own Design Studio applications and add them to fragment galleries User can compose their own apps out of fragments Fragments can come from multiple different apps Fragments are currently tied to a single user across Multiple Design Studio applications Save as Fragment Save as Fragmen t Save as Fragment Save Save as as Fragment Fragment Gallery Release 1.4 Planned Nov

18 Online composition fragment building blocks User empowerment Users can now autonomously create BI applications online Self-service approach eliminates the time-consuming process of consulting with development for every little application change App designer can determine the behavior and the degree to which apps can be modified and (re)- composed App designers can create different online composition apps for different users & purposes Fragment galleries store and display all the users personal, cross-application fragments End-users create a new personal layouts simply via drag & drop Fragment Gallery Release 1.4 Planned Nov

19 Real time / data streaming Design Studio 1.4 comes with a real time data extension package. This supports the ability to create visualisations with streaming data from esp. (Push use case) DS timer component allows to pull data near real-time (regular updates 3/5 secs) from HANA or BW (Pull use case) Time based line charts with time axis scaling allow to better visualise data in real time whether that is streamed or pull based. Note: SAP Event Stream Processor enables you to create and run your own complex event processing (CEP) applications to derive continuous intelligence from streaming event data in real time. Release 1.4 Planned Nov

20 Data source SDK Data source SDK With the data source SDK it will be possible to consume data from all kinds of data sources (for example CSV files, via URL, 3rd party sources, or simply local data manually added via a spreadsheet in design studio) SDK components and charts can consume SDK data sources External Source As an SDK Developer you: Reuse the already existing communication format ( SDK- JSON ) SDK - JSON Need to implement the SDK data source interface with its main design studio scripting functions Can also implement a data buffer, which extends a SDK data source that provides the addcell method for easily adding data to the data source. BW/HANA/UN X Release 1.4 Planned Nov

21 Data source SDK Static datasource Currently 2 components: CSV datasource Static datasource Static datasource delivers an editor grid in the additional properties to add data manually in the design time. Supports crosstab: shows numbers and alphabetic characters. Supports chart: shows numbers, ignores alphabetic characters. Additional new functions in the script editor, e.g. Search, format and go to line. * ESP Datasource not yet completely implemented. Release 1.4 Planned Nov

22 CVOM SDK Lumira & Design Studio interoperability Mobile Web Monitor. Explore. Explain. Design Studio Lumira (Desktop) Explore. Enrich. Explain. Design Studio SDK Lumira SDK Design Studio SDK is DS specific visualizations, business logic, printing & exporting, drag & drop etc Lumira (CVOM) SDK can be leveraged by both Design Studio* & Lumira Lumira SDK for visualizations only Release 1.4 Planned Nov

23 CVOM SDK Lumira (CVOM) SDK integration to Design Studio Build custom CVOM extensions once and use them both in Lumira and Design Studio.
