Lumira 2.1 Discovery, a first glimpse
On Friday Dec 15th, SAP made Lumira 2.1 Discovery available for the general public. During the last few months, there were some exciting new features announced. In the article below, we take a quick look at a feature we were waiting for to return to the stage, namely “Linked Analysis”, and a new feature called “Ad-Hoc Data Comparison”.
Linked analysis
Up until Lumira 1.31, it was possible to link the analysis between different graphs, so that when you filter on a dimension in the first graph, the data was also filtered in the other graphs. With Lumira 2.0 however, this was no longer possible.
In the release of Lumira 2.1 Discovery, this is again possible.
When using this filter, it acts as Parent-Child filter on the other components if you filter on the first graph:
Unfortunately, this does not work for geomaps.
Hopefully SAP can also add this for the geomaps in the future.
Ad-Hoc Data Comparison
There is also a new way of comparing data in a graph by simply selecting columns in a column chart:
To activate this at runtime, right-click the chart and select the “Enable Ad-hoc Data Comparison” option:
However, this option is so far only found in Column Chart graphs.
Conclusion
There are a few nice new features and perhaps some others we still need to discover. We will find out more in the coming weeks as we continue to discover the new release.

Process chain (flows) optimization Part 3
This will be the last article about process chain optimization. In the previous article we covered the optimization of infopackages and DTP’s. Now we will close out the topic with DSO’s and Cubes.
So for DSO’s. The only thing that I found out about DSO’s that has impact on performance is the setting ‘SID generation’. If you aren’t going to use the DSO for reporting then you should set it to never create SID’s.

Process chain (flows) optimization Part 2
In the previous article I did a small intro and showed you how to check if a process chain should be optimized. In this article I’ll be telling how I optimize the infopackages and DTP’s from the chains.
As for infopackages, I have only encountered 2 things that can slow the process down. When you looked into the detail view of the infopackage at ‘ST13’ it either just loads in a lot of data or as marked above the ‘1st package arrived’ takes a long time.

Process chain (flows) optimization Part 1
Following will be an article which is divided into 3pieces. First an introduction to what I do and why I write this article, as well as a must do before changing process chains and how to check which chains have performance issues. Second article will be on how to optimize infopackages and DTP’s. Lastly, we’ll end with how to improve the performance of DSO’s and Cubes.
