User request is completed. (Ran out of memory)

Unable to Run/Edit particular MicroStrategy reports ue to the following error:

User request is completed. (Ran out of memory)

User request is completed.
(Ran out of memory)




The above issue appeared in MSTR Web Universal version 10.5

We tried the below options without any luck:
1. i-server restart
2. Web server restart
3. clear document cache/dataset cache
4. Web server cache clear as below:
The correct option is to increase the contract memory settings:

Using the Memory Contract Manager

The MCM settings are in the Intelligence Server Configuration Editor, in the Governing Rules: Default: Memory Settings category.
The Enable single memory allocation governing option lets you specify how much memory can be reserved for a single Intelligence Server operation at a time. When this option is enabled, each memory request is compared to the Maximum single allocation size (MBytes) setting. If the request exceeds this limit, the request is denied. For example, if the allocation limit is set to 100 MB and a request is made for 120 MB, the request is denied, but a request for 90 MB is allowed.

Case functions Microstrategy

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...

Apply or Pass-through functions in Microstrategy

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...

Sort by metric subtotals and attribute elements together in Microstrategy

Sort by metric subtotals and attribute elements together in Microstrategy Users may observer that when creating a report that contains advance sorting with a metric that contains subtotals the report results appear to be only sorted by the metric values specified. Even if a sort is specified for the attribute elements on the report, the results in the report appear as if the attribute sort was not defined. In the screenshot below, the results for a report are shown where the Advance Sorting option 'Sort metrics hierarchically using: Total' is selected. For this report, a second sort is defined on the Customer Gender - 'DESC' form, users would notice that the ordering of the this attribute is not consistent: The sort definition for the report is shown below: CAUSE: When the option to 'Sort metrics hierarchically using: Total' option is selected, the MicroStrategy Engine first sorts the results based on the Total values, and then sorts th...

Prompt-in-prompt(Nested Prompts) in Microstrategy

Prompt-in-prompt(Nested Prompts) in  Microstrategy Nested prompts allows you to create one prompt based on the other and other bases on another, nested prompts allows us to prompt the highest level(Like year) to middle level(like Quarter, then to the low level(like Month). Here you can see how to  create a 3-level deep nested prompt that will prompt the user to select a year, then a quarter within that year, then a month within that quarter. Prompt-in-prompt is a feature in which the answer to one prompt is used to define another prompt. This feature is only implemented for element list prompts . The following procedure describes how to achieve this: Create the highest level filter. This is a filter which contains a prompt on an attribute element list. Create a filter on the attribute "Year." Click "prompt on attribute element list" and click "Next" through the rest of the screens to accept the default values. Do not set any additio...

MicroStrategy default sort order for an attribute elements browsing

MicroStrategy default sort order for an attribute elements browsing and display How does MicroStrategy 9.x resolve the default sort order for an attribute when different sort orders are defined for different forms? Consider the following cases: CASE 1 A new attribute is created with three forms, all with sort order set to none. Form Name Form Type Default Sort Order ID ID None DESC DESC None LongDesc None None The overall sort order is evaluated and stored in the attribute definition when the attribute is saved. With all form sort orders set to none there is no saved sort order, MicroStrategy defaults to sort ascending by ID. CASE 2 The same attribute is modified so the forms are now: Form Name Form Type Default Sort Order ID ID None DESC DESC Descending LongDesc None Ascending Now when the attribute is saved, MicroStrategy goes through each form in the order they appear in the main 'Forms' window of the attribute editor. The first...
