Install Geovis Extension on BO Plateform #32

Closed franckblais closed 9 years ago

franckblais commented 9 years ago

Hello Mike, all,

Has someone tried to install the Geovis package as a SAP BI Platform extension ? I successfully installed all of them on a 4.1 SP05 with DS 1.4SP00 Patch 2 add-on.

But when trying with Geovis, my DS does not responds anymore and the extension is not installed (after closing it).

I'll look at the logs ... If you have an idea where I could look, all the help is appreciated :)

For information, we have a proof of concept for a client using SAP BI, Lumira, Webi and DS on Hana :) I want to show them all the goodness of the SDK package as well !

I know it takes a very long time to install and DS will appear frozen for a long while because of all the map tiles and geo files it's putting onto the platform. Are you installing the map packs or just the geovis package? In either case yeah it takes a long time. One time I actually ran out of drive space in the process. If THAT happens, you'll have to restart the FRS service with the prune flag to clean up an incomplete install to reclaim the space.

I'm considering removing the lat/lng files because of the size issue - What are your thoughts?

Also for your POC client, you may want to strip out the Maps plugin and just demo the Choroplete Maps if that's what you're after - It's much more lightweight. I may actually move that over to the DataBound Feature instead so it's not bogged down with the Leaflet version.

I am installing only the geovis package.

Ok, so I just need to wait. But how can the server run out of space ! The package doesn't weight 10 gigs, even if ... By the way, I am not very proficient with BO yet. What kind of objects are included in the lat/lng ? It is very surprising !

Maybe moving them is a good idea indeed.

I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens.

EDIT: One or more extensions failed to install The maximum number of bytes per upload file is 10485760. Contact your System Administrator to change this. (WBP 42057)

With this kind of limitation, I doubt a customer would be able to install it without doubts. I am a bit worried as well about the performance of the report itself. Do you have any insight about this ?

By the way, Our client expects us to work on it next week, so if you have time to separate the packages, we'll be more than happy :) He does not know about all the possibilities of DS. Having the maps could be a good surprise, but is not mandatory for now ;)

It could be a good benchmark of the Chloroplete maps !

Hey Franck,

Let me work on this today and see how I can make it leaner. It may mean moving plugins around which I've wanted to do anyway. Which map plugin were you wanting to use? Choropleth or the tile-based Leaflet ones? I'll move the Choropleth ones out of the Geovis Feature and into the main Feature that most people use. It's a MUCH lighter-weight plugin.

Regarding performance (for Choropleth version) I have not had bad performance with reasonable GeoJSON map sets.

We don't know yet, and I am not very proficient with maps yet ! I still have to test the maps (but with no correct masterdata, it is not so easy).

Nevertheless, lighter will be better :) Don't worry though, it is not so urgent. I don't want to put pressure on you !

Hey Mike ! Thanks for moving Choro from Geovis. I was able to install all the components except Geovis on the BI Server.

Have a good day !
