| Connect to your data source. |
If your data
source is:
- RDBMS: Enter your credentials, connect
to the database server, browse and select a data source; for example, if you
are connecting to SAP HANA, you
select a view and cube to build your chart.
- Flat file: Choose the columns to be
acquired, trimmed, or shown and hidden.
- Universe: Enter your universe
credentials, connect to the Central Management Server repository, and select a
universe to build your chart.
|
| View and organize the columns and dimensions. |
You can view the
data acquired as columns or as facets. You can organize the data display to
make chart building easier by doing the following:
- Create filters and hide unneeded
columns
- Create measures, time hierarchies,
and geography hierarchies
- Clean and organize the data in columns
using a range of manipulation tools
- Create columns with formulas using a
wide selection of available functions
|
| Analyze your data using predictive algorithms. |
Once you have acquired the relevant data in the Prepare
room, switch to the Predict room and create
an analysis to find patterns in the data and predict the future
outcomes. In the Predict room, you can do
the following: - Create an analysis
- Build predictive models
- View analysis results
- View model visualizations
- Build charts
|
| Save your analysis. |
Name and save the analysis that includes your charts. Analyses are saved in a
document with the .lums file format in the application folder under
Documents in your profile path -
C:\Users\<userid>\Documents\SAP Predictive Analytics
Documents |
| Open an existing analysis. |
If you open an existing analysis that is saved in .lums file format, the following is
true:- If SAP Lumira was installed on the machine
before SAP Predictive
Analytics, the .lums document opens in SAP
Lumira
- If SAP Predictive
Analytics is installed on the machine without any SAP
Lumira instance, the .lums document opens in
SAP Predictive
Analytics
- If SAP Lumira was installed on the machine
after SAP Predictive
Analytics, the .lums document opens in SAP
Lumira
You can change this behavior by right-clicking the .lums file
and associating it with the preferred tool, for example, SAP Predictive
Analytics |
