Careful preparation and testing are emphasized to minimize risks during the upgrade process.
Your data is one of your biggest assets and protecting it is paramount. Xoomworks BI have found that many organisations have inefficient security models that lead to costly overheads and potential security breaches. Designing a flexible, legally compliant Security model to safeguard your data, which has the capacity for easy maintenance and expansion is a must.
This presentation covers how to build and maintain a flexible Security Model, the problems that could arise from improper management, as well as the different types of Authentication in an Enterprise Environment, including using the Security Token service to your benefit
This presentation we walk the audience through some vital steps how to approach building, maintaining, scaling or integrating a globally distributed SAP BI4.x deployment. We also look at some examples and solutions shared by our specialists.
> For New deployments we look at a multi-tiered architecture design strategy, as well as a detailed implementation strategy involving: pre-requisites, supportability, connectivity, SAP BI4.x installation and post-configuration/customization, monitoring.
> For existing deployments we explore a number of approaches: dynamic monitoring, SAP BI4.x administration/governance, Tune/scale approach, Software integration approach, Upgrade/patch approach
We would like to share the document which describe how to Upgrade BI 4.1 SP6 to BI 4.2 SP 02. For further details check the document. Hope this document will help you

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Reduce Risk – Essential Testing
Reduce risk by including several test stages in your upgrade plan
- Set up a sandbox environment for BI 4.1 platform and client testing
- Plan thorough discovery and testing of new products, features and functions
- Schedule tests to estimate the time required for the upgrade
- Security and content testing
Ensure you identify what needs to be tested after the upgrade and by whom
- UAT by business users (most important, most frequently used, most critical reports and dashboards,
universes, BI content in inboxes and personal folders, etc.)
- Repeat testing and validation in each environment after migrating content through the BI 4.1 landscape
(e.g. development to test to acceptance to production)
- Final user validation after release into production system

Reduce Risk – design and allow time for a comprehensive test plan
Compatibility tests with existing systems
System performance and stability tests
- Plan for extensive performance and system tests to avoid rude awakening
Plan and perform a pre-upgrade test on a specially modelled sample scenarios
- Set up a sample group with related sample access levels and related sample application to test an
incremental upgrade without dependencies
- Set up a sample folder, objects, and instances related to previous test run, this time to test an
incremental upgrade with dependencies
- Perform tests after the test upgrades to see whether the incremental upgrade with security works

Training – A Must for User Acceptance and Enablement
Appropriate training is an essential part of change management and user acceptance of the new
system
- Carefully evaluate training needs for end users, administrators and developers so they acquire the
skillsets required for an efficient and successful upgrade
End users should receive training depending on the products and functionality they will be using
- Create training plans according to the required skill sets
Schedule training sessions close to the actual production rollout and consider refresher sessions
after go live
Business users involved in testing will require training earlier than the general user base

• Verify the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) whether your third party components are supported
and compliant with 64-bit technology
• Size your new deployment to properly deploy your BI system!
- Determine which hardware you require for your new system work
- You will require more hardware than before, especially memory
- Decide whether to deploy on physical servers or on virtual machines, on Windows or Unix/Linux
- Refer to ‘Sizing and Deploying SAP BI 4 and SAP Lumira’
• Include best practices for service tuning, especially the APS
• Consult BI 4 Pattern books to architect your solution
• Do not forget about authentication, monitoring, auditing, lifecycle management, backup,
recovery, etc.

The Upgrade Management Tool (UMT)
The UMT is a one-stop, thick-client Java tool to upgrade BI content from XIR2 and XI 3.x to
BI4.
- UMT centralises upgrade workflows into a single location, replacing the Import Wizard and DB
Migration tools.
- Supports both upgrade workflows (full and incremental)
UMT can be a resource intensive tool, depending on your content migration size
- It can consume large amounts of memory and temp disc space.
- Run UMT on a dedicated machine with maximum resource allocation (RAM, CPU, disk space)
- Configure the UMT
• Disk space: allocate a minimum of twice the file store size available
• Java Heap Size: allocate as much RAM as possible for better overall UMT performance and
stability
Why Upgrade? Planning Phase Design & Installation The Upgrade Summary Checklist Xoomworks
33. bi@xoomworks.com | www.xoomworks.com/bi
Using UMT - Scenarios
UMT allows for two Upgrade scenarios: BIAR to Live and Live to Live
BIAR to Live
- Required when source and target systems cannot be connected
- Allows for keeping a content snapshot and re-starting the upgrade process from the snapshot
- Use small BIAR files (max 10,000 objects or 1GB)
Live to Live
- Optimized for a large amount of objects
- Requires source and target systems up and running
- Ports must be opened between source and target
Tracing the UMT
- Set up tracing for the UMT if you run into issues
- Review the log files after the upgrade and group common errors into issue types
Why Upgrade? Planning Phase Design & Installation The Upgrade Summary Checklist Xoomworks
34. bi@xoomworks.com | www.xoomworks.com/bi
UMT Best Practices
Upgrade your BI content from source PRD to TEST in your target system
If you have many objects in one step consider breaking these up in further increments, e.g.
objects names starting with A-I, then J-Q, and R-Z.
After validation and tests promote BI content from TEST to DEV and PRD respectively,
using Promotion Management in BI 4.1 (integrated in the CMC)
The order of the content import needs to be carefully planned. A recommended order of
iterative content import is as follows:
- Users and User Groups
- Universes, connections and other content dependencies
- Everything else EXCEPT Users and User Groups, Universes, Folders and Objects
- Folders and Objects

Post-Upgrade Tasks I
After completion of all the upgrade increments you will need to perform a number of post-
upgrade tasks:
Enabling 3rd party authentication
- Windows AD and SAP authentication types must be enabled on the target machine
All BI servers that were disabled prior to the upgrade must be restarted
Create all 64-bit Data Source Names (DSNs) and DB client configurations on target
machine
- DSNs need to be manually set up to re-establish connectivity to the data sources of the
documents
