Clean uninstall MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise using the Uninstallation Cleanup Utility
How to clean uninstall MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise using the Uninstallation Cleanup Utility
CONSIDERATIONS/GUIDELINES:
This Uninstallation Cleanup Utility is designed to remove the obsolete or leftover services, files and registries after uninstalling MicroStrategy products.
The goal of this cleanup utility is to remove the leftover files and registries after uninstallation to make the machine "cleaner" for a second time installation (it can solve some known downgrade installation issues).
The basic assumption for removing files is that the user installed MicroStrategy in a path that contains the string "MicroStrategy". If not, the files and certain registry keys will not be removed.
Using the cleanup utility incorrectly can cause system-wide problems that may require re-installation of the Operating System. This utility should always be tested in a test environment before being run in a production environment.
Link to download cleanup utility under files - Cleanup.zip:
Uninstall all the MicroStrategy and related products from Control Panel:
Any MSTR Hotfixes applied

DHTML Editing Component (if installed)
Restart the machine.
Copy cleanup.exe to this machine.
Right click and "Run as Administrator" to execute. This will do the following things:
Back up the entire registry to "reg_backup_<timestamp>.reg" file (this file will get created in the same folder where the executable resides)
Stop and remove MicroStrategy services (if they exist)

Generate a list of registries to be cleaned from the system "applyCleanup.reg" (this file will get created in the same folder where the cleanup executable resides)
Rename the leftover folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MicroStrategy to C:\Program Files (x86)\MicroStrategy_<timestamp>
Rename the leftover folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MicroStrategy to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MicroStrategy_<timestamp>
Prompt "Do you want to import applyCleanup.reg to registry now? (y/n):"
Enter "y", the registry entries in applyCleanup.reg will be removed from system registry
Enter "n", the registry entries won't be removed. Users can always review applyCleanup.reg later and manually apply it by double clicking on it
If the user wants to delete the entire MicroStrategy folders instead of renaming it, the user can run "cleanup.exe -f" in the Windows Command prompt.
After the executable is run, users should restart the machine
Usage in Windows Command Prompt
cleanup.exe [-h] [-f]
optional arguments:
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-f

Ca se functions Microstrategy Case functions return specified data in a SQL query based on the evaluation of user-defined conditions. In general, a user specifies a list of conditions and corresponding return values. Case This function evaluates multiple expressions until a condition is determined to be true, then returns a corresponding value. If all conditions are false, a default value is returned. Case can be used for categorizing data based on multiple conditions. This is a single-value function. Syntax Case ( Condition1 , ReturnValue1 , Condition2 , ReturnValue2 ,..., DefaultValue ) Example Case(([Total Revenue] < 300000), 0, ([Total Revenue] < 600000), 1, 2) sum(Case (Day@DESC in (“Sat”,”Sun”), Sales, 0) {~+} Sum(Case(Category@DESC In("Books","Electronics"),Revenue,0)){~+} CaseV (case vector) CaseV evaluates a single metric and returns different values according to the results. It can be used to perfo...
MicroStrategy URL Structure The following table summarizes the root URL structure used for every request to MicroStrategy Web. Environment Main Application URL Administration URL J2EE http://webserver/MicroStrategy/servlet/mstrWeb http://webserver/MicroStrategy/servlet/mstrWebAdmin .NET http://webserver/MicroStrategy/asp/Main.aspx http://webserver/MicroStrategy/asp/Admin.aspx Every request sent to MicroStrategy Web calls a central controller. Parameters are appended to Main.aspx or mstrWeb (in a .NET and J2EE environment, respectively) to indicate to the controller how the request should be internally forwarded and handled. The following examples show a URL for accessing a MicroStrategy folder when the user does not have an existing session. The URL contains not only the parameters needed to connect to MicroStrategy Web, but also the parameters needed to log on and create a session. J2EE environment: <a href="http:...
Personalizing file locations MSTr allows to dynamically specify the File Location and Backup File Location in a file device using macros. For example, if you specify the File Location as C:\Reports\{&RecipientName}\ , all subscriptions using that file device are delivered to subfolders of C:\Reports\ . Subscribed reports or documents for each recipient are delivered to a subfolder with that recipient’s name, such as C:\Reports\Jane Smith\ or C:\Reports\Hiro Protagonist\ . The table below lists the macros that can be used in the File Location and Backup File Location fields in a file device: Description Macro Date on which the subscription is sent {&Date} Time at which the subscription is sent {&Time} Name of the recipient {&RecipientName} User ID (32-character GUID) of the recipient {&RecipientID} Distribution Services add...
Custom Tooltips in Microstrategy developer and Web The following table describes the macros you can use to customize graph tooltips in both MicroStrategy Developer and MicroStrategy Web: Macro Information Displayed {&TOOLTIP} All relevant labels and values associated with a graph item. {&GROUPLABEL} Name of the graph item's category. This value is often the graph item's attribute element information, as attributes are commonly used as the categories of graph reports. {&SERIESLABEL} Name of the graph item’s series. This value is often the graph item's metric name information, as metrics are commonly used as the series of graph reports. {&VALUE} The value of a given data point. {&XVALUE} The X-value of a data point. Only applicable to Bubble charts and Scatter plots. {&YVALUE} The Y-value of a data point. Only applicable to Bubble charts and Scatter plots. {&ZVALUE} The Z-value of a data point. Only applicable to Bubble charts and Scatter plots. {...
Ap ply (Pass-Through) functions MSTR Apply functions provide access to functions or syntactic constructs that are not standard in MicroStrategy but are provided by various RDBMS systems.. Syntax common to Apply functions Apply Function Name ("expression with placeholders", Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, …ArgN) where: Apply Function Name – is a generic name used for the predefined pass-through functions described above expression with placeholders – is the string describing the actual expression or syntax that the engine uses while generating the SQL and which is sent to the RDBMS. The placeholders are represented by #0, #1, and so on. "#" is a reserved character for MicroStrategy. Arg – is an argument that replaces the parameter markers in the pattern. Arg1 replaces #0, Arg2 replaces #1, and so on. There are five pre-defined Apply functions to replace regular, predefined functions of the same type. For more details, cli...
Derived metric based on attribute values Here is how could create and display data correctly on using below simple steps. Create a report with Category, Subcategory and Revenue. Create New Metric in a report or VI. Case((Category@ID = 1), Revenue, 0) Booksand Name it as Revenue for where 2 is Category ID for "Books" Report will display result as below. Result for new metric is blank. Now to fix this create a new Derived metric on Category attribute first with formula as Max(Category) {~ } and calling Books Now Edit the "Revenue for Books metric and Replace Category@ID with this new Books metric formula would looks like this Case((Books = 1), Revenue, 0). Report result would now display as expected as shown below

In addition, change the settings for the ‘Connection lifetime’ and the ‘Connection idle time out’. Follow the steps below to perform the mentioned changes and verify the report after each step and some of the settings require i-server r...
