3 1. Business Scenari This guide is intended fr administratrs, wh want t install, cnfigure, and manage SAP Lumira, server fr BI Platfrm. It cntains infrmatin n hw t install SAP Lumira server fr BI Platfrm in distributed envirnment and hw t cnfigure and manage Lumira Server fr SAP Business Objects BI Platfrm. 2. Backgrund Infrmatin SAP Lumira, server fr BI Platfrm brings yur SAP Lumira cntent int yur SAP BusinessObjects BI platfrm deplyment, thus allwing yu t utilize the security, scalability, and ease f use the BI platfrm prvides. The SAP Lumira viewer is integrated int the SAP BusinesObjects BI platfrm as a web applicatin, enabling users t have the same experience viewing and explring stries in the BI Launchpad as they d in SAP Lumira. The SAP BusinessObjects BI platfrm enfrces security n Lumira dcuments, and allws access and categrizatin in the same manner as ther BI platfrm cntent, allwing yu t seamlessly adpt SAP Lumira within yur rganizatin. This slutin cntains fur essential cmpnents: SAP Lumira server client has the fllwing cmpnents: Lumira Desktp: This acquires and prepares data. Als, it creates visualizatins, and stries frm Lumira Desktp and saves it t BI Platfrm. Launch pad viewer: This is a web applicatin that acts a windw fr users t view infrmatin in the frm f data, visualizatins and reprts. It als allws users t exprt the cntent t ther business applicatins (like Micrsft Excel) and als t save it t a specified lcatin. Users can als use varius analytical tls t explre the infrmatin. SAP Lumira server: This is a prcessing server fr Lumira cntent n SAP businessobjects BI Platfrm; it hsts the in-memry velcity engine. SAP Lumira Web Applicatins: This is embedded within the BI Launchpad and CMC applicatins t allw access t Lumira cntent within BI Launchpad and CMC (Viewer and Applicatin). SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) platfrm server: The server supprting the BI Platfrm. 3. Prerequisites Befre starting the installatin, SAP Lumira, server fr BI Platfrm installatin wizard runs a prerequisite check fr the fllwing system requirements: Yu have 64-bit perating system. Yu have administratr rights. Yu have the required pen prts. Yu have minimum 8 GB drive space. Yu have minimum 16 GB RAM. Yu have installed SAP Business Objects BI platfrm 4.1 SP3 r abve. Yu have uninstalled SAP BusinessObjects BI Add-n fr SAP Lumira befre prceeding with SAP Lumira, server fr BI Platfrm installatin. Yu have uninstalled Infrmatin Platfrm prcessr (IPS) and Crystal Server set up befre prceeding with SAP Lumira, server fr BI Platfrm installatin. Ensure that SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platfrm 4.1 SP3 r abve is installed and cnfigured crrectly as described in the Business Intelligence Platfrm Installatin Guide at: Yu must have administratr access t the designated machine fr installatin. Crrect cnfiguratin means the machine n which SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence Platfrm 4.1 SP3 r abve is installed, is perating and accessible n the netwrk. Make a nte f the CMS lgn credentials fr the SAP BusinessObjects BI Platfrm 4.1 SP3 r abve installatins. Yu need these when installing SAP Lumira, server fr BI Platfrm. The CMS lgn credentials are as fllws: CMS name 3

4 Prt number User Name Passwrd Finally, Make sure the tw servers have trust built and recgnize each ther. Make an entry in hsts file in windws 4. Step-by-Step Prcedure Distributed deplyment: In the distributed BI Platfrm deplyment, all the servers exist n different machine. When yu deply SAP Lumira, server fr BI Platfrm n a machine that des nt have a CMS Installatin, it shuld cnnect t anther Central Management Server (CMS) n a separate machine n yur netwrk. CMS can als be n a Linux/Unix machine in a distributed deplyment scenari. Tw images belw shw what BI 4.1 cmpnent/service is required fr what cunterpart Lumira server/cmpnent Server 1 Server2 BI 4.1/Lumira BI 4.1/Lumira Lumira server cmpnents requires Adaptive Prcessing Server (APS) Web Applicatins: Ensure yu have BI platfrm web tier with Tmcat r Web Applicatin Cntainer Server (WACS). Restful Web Services: Ensure yu have Web Applicatin Cntainer Server (WACS) r Restful Web Services in SAP BI platfrm. Scheduler Service: Ensure yu have installed Adaptive Jb Server (AJS) in SAP BI platfrm. Dwnlad SAP Lumira, server fr BI Platfrm frm SAP Service Marketplace. 4

5 Extract dwnladed file/sftware. Right-click n setup.exe file and chse Run as administratr. Review yur license agreement, and select the I accept the License Agreement check bx. Chse Next. 5

6 Select the cmpnents that yu want t install n Server 1. Chse Next. 6

7 Pre-requisite, make sure AdaptivePrcessingServer is enabled and running in CMC In parallel, select the cmpnent yu want t install n Server 2 7

8 Similarly, n yur secnd server PS: We are installing n tw separate servers in parallel. Enter yur CMS lgn credentials: CMS Name If CMS is nt installed in yur system, the field remains empty. Yu need t enter the details manually. 8

9 Prt number If CMS is nt installed in yur system, the field remains empty. Yu need t enter the details manually. User Name. By default Administratr is the user name. Yu cannt edit the User Name field. Passwrd Chse Next t start the installatin. Chse Finish t cmplete the installatin. 9

10 Cnfirm installatin in Cntrl panel n Windws. Yu have successfully installed Lumira server n SAP BusinessObjects. 10

11 5. Related Cntent There are several gtchas which happen when yu install Lumira n Windws with a Linux bx as the primary. 1. The Linux Web Tier will nt be updated s yu will nt have the view and schedule ptins fr Lumira 2. The Restful sectin f the WACS server will nt be updated s Lumira Desktp will nt be able t cnnect and publish t the Linux Bx 3. Fr BI 4.1 SP3 and SP4 (SP5 includes it by default), the Lumira Lums bject type (visilums) will nt exist in the CMS database and will nt be added unless yu install it n a windws nde that has a CMS server. 4. If yu did nt have the restful services installed previusly Lumira will nt recgnize this and will prceed as thugh there were n errrs but wn t update the WACS server with the Mst f these can be fixed by cpying files frm the windws system t the linux system. Hwever, if yu didn t have the WACS server and web tier and CMS n the windws nde at time f install then the files wn t be there t cpy ver. Lumira Server fr BI Platfrm is ready fr Enterprise Deplyment, supprts mst f the Enterprise deplyment requires f BI Platfrm deplyment. Distributed Deplyment Lumira server: BI Platfrm Adaptive prcessing server is the pre-requisite fr Lumira Server installatin Lumira Web Applicatin: BI Platfrm Web Tier is the pre-requisite fr Lumira Web Applicatin installatin Lumira Restfull Web services: BI Platfrm WACS server is the pre-requisite fr Lumira Restfull Web Service installatin Lumira Scheduling Service: BI Platfrm Adaptive Server is the pre-requisite fr Lumira Scheduling Service installatin Clustering supprt fr High availability Cluster Lumira Server: Lumira Server can be clustered fr high availability and t avid single pint f failure. Recmmendatin is t deply Lumira Servers n the dedicated servers due t in-memry velcity engine. In Clustered deplyment Lumira Server balances the Lad between servers based n the Dcument instance instead f user sessin t effectively utilize the system resurces e.x. if 10 users pens (applicable nly fr view) the same dcument nly ne dcument instance is laded int Velcity (in-memry engine) Deply Lumira Web applicatin n clustered applicatin server and Split envirnment Yu can Deply Lumira Web applicatin n yur existing Clustered and Lad balanced web applicatin server deplyment fr BI Launchpad and CMC fr high availability and t avid single pint f failure at Web applicatin level. Yu can als Split the Lumira Web Applicatin Static and dynamic cntent with WDEPLOY, deply static cntent n HTTP Server and Dynamic cntent n Web applicatin server t best utilize the Web applicatin server resurces Recmmend t run Lumira Servers n separate systems As Lumira Server hsts Velcity Engine (in-memry calculatin engine), it can take up higher RAM depending n Dcument size and User sessins. 11

12 T make sure Lumira Server desn t impact the system service, we have set a maximum resurce utilizatin t 85% f available resurces If Velcity takes up 85% resurces n system, yu may face issues with requests served by ther Prcessing servers n the same system Secure Deplyment Lumira Server: In case f Deplyments with firewall between Lumira Server and Lumira Web Applicatin r Other dependent BI Platfrm Servers yu can assign a static prt fr Lumira Server and pen the Prt n Firewall fr establishing cmmunicatin between the cmpnents In case the Lumira Server is deplyed in DMZ n multihmed system, yu can assign an IP fr cmmunicatin with dependent cmpnent Lumira Web applicatin Supprts HTTPS fr cmmunicatin encryptin Supprts Reverse Prxy and HTTP Prxy fr aviding the external access fr Web Applicatin Server running Lumira Web Applicatin 12
