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:

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...
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...
Microstrategy Dossiers With the release of MicroStrategy 10.9, we’ve taken a leap forward in our dashboarding capabilities by simplifying the user experience, adding storytelling, and collaboration.MSTR has evolved dashboards to the point that they are more than dashboards - they are interactive, collaborative analytic stories . Ultimately, it was time to go beyond dashboards, both in concept and in name, and so the've renamed VI dashboards to ‘ dossiers ’. Dossiers can be created by using the new Desktop product or Workstation or simply from the Web interface which replaces Visual Insights. All the existing visual Insights dashboards will be converted to Dossiers With MicroStrategy 10.9, there was an active focus on making it easier to build dashboards for the widest audience of end users. To achieve this, some key new capabilities were added that make it easier to author, read, interact and collaborate on dashboards ...

Defining custom subtotal displays in MicroStrategy By default, when users apply subtotals in a report, the name of the subtotal is displayed in the subtotal line items that appear in the report. Users can use custom subtotals to give more control over the characteristics of a subtotal. Custom subtotals allow users to define custom subtotal line items that appear on the reports U sers can make the subtotal name dynamic by typing special characters in the subtotal name field as listed in the following table. Character Description #A The name of the attribute under which the subtotal appears. #P The name of the attribute to the left of, or above the attribute under which the subtotal appears. #0 All the forms of the parent element. #1 The first form of the parent element reading from left to right or from top to bottom. #2 The second form of the parent element reading from left to right or from top to bottom. #3 The third form of th...
Configure a report for use with Bulk Export in MicroStrategy The Bulk Export feature enables a large report to be saved as a delimited text file. Using this feature, it is possible to retrieve result sets from a large dataset without having to load the entire dataset into memory. PS: Once a report is setup for bulk export it cannot be used as a regular report. So if the report needs to be run as a normal report and as a bulk export report, the first step is to make a copy of the report for use with bulk export. Configure Bulk Export Bulk Export options are only available in MicroStrategy Developer. Open a 3-tier connection using MicroStrategy Developer and edit the desired report. Go to 'Data' on the top menu bar. Select 'Configure Bulk Export': Specify any additional desired configuration options. General Settings Bulk export database instance : This is the database instance to use to store the bulk export results. Temporary tables w...
Uniquely identifying data in tables with Compound Key attribute: The types of keys that can be assigned to a table include: • Simple key requires only one column to identify a record uniquely within a table. • Compound key requires multiple columns to identify a unique record. .

Bursting file subscriptions: Delivering parts of reports across multiple files: Large MicroStrategy reports and documents are often broken up into separate pages by attributes. In a similar way, with Distribution Services, you can split up, or burst, a report or document into multiple files. When the subscription is executed, a separate file is created for each element of each attribute selected for bursting. Each file has a portion of data according to the attributes used to group data in the report (page-by axis) or document (group-by axis). Ex:, you may have a report with information for all regions. You could place Region in the page-by axis and burst the file subscription into the separate regions. This creates one report file for each region. As a second ex:, if you choose to burst your report using the Region and Category attributes, a separate file is created for each combination of Region and Category, such as Central and Books as a report, Central and Ele...
RunningSum calculation only on the metric subtotal in MicroStrategy Here are the series of steps to setup report objects in which metrics and subtotals so only the subtotal field will contain the RunningSum and the regular metric values will be standard sum values . 1) Create Metric 1 which is the sum of the fact that is to be in the columns. 2) Create Metric2 as the RunningSum of Metric1. NOTE: The sortby parameter for the RunningSum should be set to whichever attribute you want the report sorted by. 3) Create Metric3 as Metric1 + (Metric2 x 0) 4) Create a new subtotal called "Max" which is defined as Max() 5) On the Subtotals/Aggregation tab for Metric 3, set the Total subtotal function to be "Max" and select the check box for "Allow Smart Metric" 6) Create the desired report and place the 3 metrics on the report. NOTE: Only Metric3 is required on the gri...
