Scheduling a report or document to be sent to an FTP in MSTR

Scheduling a report or document to be sent to an FTP server You can have a report or document automatically delivered to a location on your FTP server on a specific schedule. To do so, you must subscribe to the report or document, as described in the steps below. You can customize your subscription by typing macros in the  File Name ,  Sub-folder , or  Zip File Name  fields. These macros are automatically replaced with the appropriate text when the report or document is delivered. For example, you create a subscription to a document. If you type  {&Project}  in the  File Name field, the name of the project in which the document is saved is displayed in the name of the document when it is delivered. • This procedure assumes that an administrator has already added your FTP server as a new device in Developer. Steps to do so are included in the  System Administrator Help . To send a report or document to an FTP server on a schedule ...

exact string when searching for elements in an element prompt in MicroStrategy

When a user types in keywords to tries to find element names in an element prompt, the search returns all objects containing the keywords in MicroStrategy Developer 9.4.x-10.x. However, the user would like to search for the exact phrase. It is suggested to use quotes to get exact phrase when there is a space between. Like "Black Panther" Using the MicroStrategy Tutorial Project as an example, a user wishes to search for an item named Minolta Maxxum Camera. The search results for Minolta Maxxum Camera return all items containing any or all of those words, as shown below: CAUSE: This occurs due to the search defaulting to 'ORing' the search terms. This means that any or all keywords that match the strings will be returned. The SQL for this search is shown below: SELECT ITEM_NAME FROM LU_ITEM WHERE (ITEM_NAME LIKE '%Minolta%' OR ITEM_NAME LIKE '%Maxxum%' OR ITEM_NAME LIKE '%Camera%') ACTION: To match an exact string, use...

Microstrategy Custom group and consolidation comparison

Custom group and consolidation comparison Both consolidations and custom groups provide flexibility in reports, but the objects differ in their structure and use. The essential distinction is that consolidations work with attributes and custom groups use filters. Consolidations are groupings of attribute elements while custom groups are based on filter criteria. Custom groups are used to apply different filters to different rows of a report. Consolidations are used to create virtual attributes to allow reporting on attributes that do not exist in the data model. Finally, row level math can be performed with consolidations but not with custom groups. Custom groups are more flexible than consolidations because you do not have to know much about your data to create filters for a custom group. In contrast, consolidations require that you know exactly which attribute elements to select when creating the consolidation. To continue with the examples from the previous sect...
