Dashboard performance troubleshooting in MicroStrategy 10

 Dashboard performance troubleshooting in MicroStrategy 10.x Details of Document Execution Request, introduce the Performance Troubleshooting Cycle, and present links to other resources with detailed steps for troubleshooting specific components that may affect performance. To begin, the architecture for dashboard execution is diagrammed here: MicroStrategy Intelligence Server When an end user makes a  Document Execution Request  through any client (a web browser via MicroStrategy Web, the MicroStrategy Desktop/Developer client, the MicroStrategy Mobile app, or the MicroStrategy Office client), the request is sent to the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server, which processes the request and prepares the response. The MicroStrategy Intelligence Server will execute all children datasets on the dashboard by either generating SQL and running this against the data warehouse, or by fetching data from a cache. The Intelligence Server will first analyz...

Report filters are being ignored in Microstrategy report SQL

Report filters are being ignored in Microstrategy report SQL When users run a report using a simple filter, the filter is not applied to the report in MicroStrategy Developer 9.x and 10.x. The results returned to the users are not filtered as expected. The Report SQL indicates that the filter has not been applied. CAUSE: One scenario is that the MicroStrategy 10.x SQL Engine is ignoring the conditionality at the report level because a metric in the report also contains a related conditionality which has been set to "remove related report filter elements" or "ignore" the filtering criteria at the report level. ACTION: When a report contains the above situation, the follow steps can be done to have both filters applied and be merged for the report results to be executed with: If the report's and metric's filter affect attributes from the same hierarchy, check that the following setting is un-checked: This setting is placed in the me...

Predictive modelling in Data Science using Microstrategy

Creating a predictive modelling in MicroStrategy MicroStrategy Data Mining Services has been evolving to include more data mining algorithms and functionality. One key feature is MicroStrategy Developer’s Training Metric Wizard. The Training Metric Wizard can be used to create several different types of predictive models including linear and exponential regression, logistic regression, decision tree, cluster, time series, and association rules. Linear and exponential regression The linear regression data mining technique should be familiar to you if you have ever tried to extrapolate or interpolate data, tried to find the line that best fits a series of data points, or used Microsoft Excel’s LINEST or LOGEST functions. Regression analyzes the relationship between several predictive inputs, or independent variables, and a dependent variable that is to be predicted. Regression finds the line that best fits the data, with a minimum of error. For example, you have a dataset ...
