LUX Utility

The LUX utility is available from the Consumer interface’s Home screen. It displays the LUXes that have been submitted for upload to the LiveCompare server, showing the name, company name, email address and status associated with each LUX. Click a link in the name column to display the details for the selected LUX.

  • If warnings were found when uploading the LUX, click a ‘Warnings Found’ link in the Status to display the details for the selected LUX.
  • If a LUX is in the process of being uploaded, refresh the browser screen periodically to update the display.

The LUX utility’s heading section displays your LiveCompare username and a series of links. The lower part of the screen includes the following links.

Download LUX Extract Program

Click this link to display the Download screen, which outlines the steps required to create and upload LUXes for your As-Is and To-Be SAP systems. Each step has an associated help topic.

Upload

Click this link to display the Upload screen, which allows ZIP archives created by the Data Extract program to be uploaded to the LiveCompare server, to create LUXes. Each SAP HANA migration assessment requires a LUX from an As-Is system, and a LUX from a To-Be system. SAP kernel releases 620 to 75x are supported.

To upload a ZIP file created by the data extract program, carry out the following steps:

  1. Complete the fields in the first section of the Upload App screen as follows:
Field Description

Name

Enter a descriptive name that will identify the LUX.

Organization

Enter your organization or company name.

To-be Kernel

Select the SAP kernel release of your To-Be system. If it is not listed, select ‘Other’ and enter your SAP kernel release in the edit field.

Description

Enter a description for the LUX.
  1. Click ‘Choose File’ to add a ZIP archive from either your As-Is or To-Be system to the LUX definition.
  2. Click ‘Submit’ to upload the ZIP archive and process the LUX. A percentage indicator is displayed while the ZIP file is being uploaded.
  3. When the ZIP file has been uploaded, an entry for the LUX is added to the LUX screen. The LUX’s status is set to ‘In Process’.
  4. Refresh your browser periodically to update the display. When the LUX has been processed, its status is set to ‘Done’.

Email Notifications

When a LUX has uploaded successfully, an email in the following format is sent to the user who uploaded the LUX

Subject: Processing of LUX <LUX name> completed successfully.

Processing of LUX <LUX> completed successfully.

If LiveCompare is project-controlled, the email is also sent to everyone who is in the user’s current project. If any errors are encountered when processing the LUX, these will be reported to users in a similar email.
