SAP Lumira Designer and Analytic Application Use Case

SAP Lumira Designer continues to be the tool of choice for Application Design and will receive new innovations in
future releases.

Aligned with our hybrid strategy, a number of new innovations are under consideration to better align SAP Lumira
Designer and SAP Analytics Cloud in the future. For example it is planned to allow consumption of SAP Analytics
Cloud models from SAP Lumira Designer

SAP is planning to provide support for transitioning a parameterized Lumira 2.x standard application to a
corresponding standard application in SAC.

This functionality will be made available as soon as SAC App Design capabilities have evolved to a more
comprehensive set, so that such a transition is possible.

Dashboards (Xcelsius), Explorer and Flash end of support

Adobe will “..stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage
content creators to migrate any existing Flash content...”
▪ SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards (Xcelsius) and SAP BusinessObjects Explorer both depend on Flash

Key points:
▪ Adobe will stop supporting and distributing the Flash player on Dec 31 2020.
▪ After Dec 31 2020, new installations of Dashboards (Xcelsius) and Explorer will not work.
▪ After Dec 31 2020, existing installations may continue to work, but will not be supported by SAP.
▪ Different browser vendors phase out support for Flash at different times. Check with your browser vendor for
their plan. These links describe the browser vendors intent as of late 2017: Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Apple.
▪ SAP recommends SAP Analytics Cloud as the replacement for SAP BusinessObjects Explorer.
▪ SAP recommends SAP Lumira Designer as the replacement for SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards.
