SAP Lumira Discovery: Connecting to non-SAP Data Sources (SQL and Big Data)

This is part of the SAP Lumira Discovery blog series.

SAP Lumira Discovery connects directly to a wide range of non-SAP data sources ranging from Databases, Cloud applications and Big Data systems through JDBC drivers. Once the data is imported, we can refresh it as required subsequently.

(Note: Discovery can also indirectly connect to a lot of data sources through SAP BuinessObjects Universe, thereby expanding the possibilities and reusing existing investments in SAP BI)

A similar approach is followed for Big DATA, where Discovery supports Hadoop and Spark through Apache and Impala through Cloudera connectors.

A full list of SQL sources can be found under : Main Menu > Preferences > SQL Drivers

Once the connection is established, we would be able to access the tables or query using freehand SQL.
