APPEND DATASET – Appending two datasets is similar to performing a union between them.The prerequisite is to have a common key column of the same data type. MERGE DATASET – While Append adds the records of data set B to data set A, Merge adds columns from dataset B to dataset A.In 2.0, once you understand which one you need to use based on your use case, it’s fairly easy. Merge, Append and linking datasets: I remember glitches with these in Lumira 1.0.Hopefully, future versions will include a create option from within BI Launchpad. This is a great feature if you have published something from Discovery application, but then noticed a quick fix is needed. While users cannot create a LUMX file from BI Launchpad, it is possible to edit these kinds of files.There are a couple caveats to using a UNX, which I detail in the “Needs Improvement” section below. The query builder screen is the same as the one in WebI, which will make any Webi user comfortable.

I was able to connect to a universe from my BI Launchpad.Discovery supports BEX hierarchies and variables. Easily connecting to a Live BW source.This is will allow for reusability and collaboration between IT and business users. While I didn’t do an in-depth analysis on this, it was nice to see there is an ability to consume anything created in Lumira Discovery with Lumira Designer.Like Web Intelligence: its many options for charts can be accessed by either right clicking or from the contextual menu icons. After a short period of time getting used to where all the options available are, navigation was easier and seemed intuitive.It removes what I thought to be excessive amount of steps, especially since this solution is supposed to be user friendly and able to provide quick access to data. In Discovery, these are integrated into one single canvas page. Previously, Lumira Desktop had three screens: Prepare, visualize, and compose.This blog focuses on Lumira Discovery and, in particular, about connecting to a universe. Lumira 2.0 renamed Lumira Desktop to Lumira Discovery and integrated Design Studio’s functionality into another tool called Lumira Designer.

I knew that 2.0 is similar to 1.0 in that users have to deploy an add-on to the BI server. I was excited to see what improvements were made to the tool from the first iteration. I had not used Lumira 1.0 in about eight months. During some downtime recently, I decided to play around with the new Lumira 2.0.
