I guess there is always a stringent utility to provide solutions to more and more complex database operations and find out alternative methods as well with the help of tableau.

Types of prompts in Microstrategy

Types of prompts in Microstrategy The different types of prompts allow you to create a prompt for nearly every part of a report. Prompts can be used in many objects including reports, filters, metrics, and custom groups, but all prompts require user interaction when the report is executed. The correct prompt type to create depends on what report objects you want users to be able to base a filter on to filter data, as described in the list below. Filter definition prompts allow users to determine how the report's data is filtered, based on one of the following objects: Attributes in a hierarchy : Users can select prompt answers from one or more attribute elements from one or more attributes. The attribute elements that they select are used to filter data displayed on the report. This prompt lets you give users the largest number of attribute elements to choose from when they answer the prompt to define their filtering criteria. For example, on a repor...

Microstrategy "Error type: Odbc error. Odbc operation attempted

"Error type: Odbc error. Odbc operation attempted: SQLExecDirect. [HYT00:0: on SQLHANDLE] [MicroStrategy][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver]Timeout expired" is shown when executing reports from Web When users are trying to execute some reports in MicroStrategy web in particular, they may receive the Error “SQL Generation Complete Index out of range” and “Timeout expired” error as shown below: Possible Causes: One possible cause is that the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server using a cached database connection that was already dropped by the RDBMS.

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...

Settings for Outer Join between metrics in MicroStrategy

Settings for Outer Join between metrics in MicroStrategy MicroStrategy adopts multi-pass logic to determine the execution plan for a report. This means that every metric is evaluated in separate SQL passes. Outer Joins come into play when MicroStrategy Engine merges the results from all SQL passes into one report. For a multi-pass report, different Outer Join behaviors can give the user completely different results. In addition, report metrics can be of different types which can, in some cases, influence the result of the outer join. In MicroStrategy, there are two settings that users can access to control Outer Join behavior : Formula Join Type and Metric Join Type . Metric Join Type: VLDB Setting at Database Instance Level Report and Template Levels Report Editor > Data > Report Data Options Metric Level Metric editor > Tools > Metric Join Type Control Join between Metrics Formula Join Type: Only at Compound/Split...

Create an alert-based subscription in MicroStrategy Distribution Services

Create an alert-based subscription in MicroStrategy Distribution Services on Web Subscription to a report or Report Services document which will be executed when a certain conditional threshold is met based on another executing report. For example, a scheduled report executes which shows the Revenue by day for the past week. If the Revenue on any one day falls below a certain value, a subscription to another report or Report Services document can be triggered and delivered to a recipient. An alert based subscription can only be created directly on a report; however, another report or Report Services document can be delivered when the alert based subscription is triggered. Note: you need a grid report to create an alert and you cannot create if you want to create on a document with text boxes. The following example will walk through the basic steps on how to setup a subscription based on an alert like this: Follow the brief steps bel...

Customers Who Live in the Same City as Call Centers

Customers Who Live in the Same City as Call Centers Your new utility company has call centers located throughout the country, and your recent surveys indicate that customers who live in the same city as a call center are particularly satisfied with service due to extremely rapid repairs during power outages. To begin your new advertising campaign, you want to generate a list of Call Centers that coincide with Customer Cities. The following steps create an attribute-to-attribute qualification filter that generates the list of desired cities. To Create an Attribute-To-Attribute Qualification that Compares the Call Center and Customer City Attributes In MicroStrategy Web, log in to a project. Open any folder page (for example, click Shared Folders on the home page). Click the Create Filter icon . From the Object browser on the left, select the Customer City attribute from the Customers hierarchy and drag it to the filter pane on the right. Change Qualify...

MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway operation modes

MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway operation modes MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway is a native connector which was built based on Spark 1.6.x. You can choose one or more data files from Hadoop HDFS and load them into MicroStrategy Intelligence Server. Data files can be published as either an In-Memory Cube or a Live Connect Cube. MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway supports three operation modes : YARN client Standalone (HDP cluster does not support Standalone) Local YARN client mode: The driver runs in the client process, and the application master is only used for requesting resources from YARN. Running in this mode requires YARN service to be enabled on your Hadoop cluster. Standalone mode: MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway uses Spark Master to coordinate data processing. Local mode: no application is deployed in the Spark nodes. All data processing is executed in the MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway host. This modality is intended for testing and troubleshooting.

Algorithm to calculate Logical Table Size in Microstrategy

How are the fact tables determined using the logical table size for SQL generation in MicroStrategy The logical table size is an integer number that represents the granularity or level of aggregation of a particular table. It is called 'logical' because it is not related to the physical size of the tables (number of rows). It is calculated according to the attribute IDs that are present in the table and their level in the system hierarchy. Even though, the number does not reveal the actual number of rows in the table, it is an accurate way of measuring a table size without having to access its contents. IMPORTANT: The system hierarchy is defined by the parent-child relationships between attributes of the same family (formerly known as a dimension), not by user-defined hierarchies (i.e., drilling hierarchies). MicroStrategy Engine utilizes an algorithm based on attribute keys to calculate the Logical Table Size (LTS): Given the following tables: ...

Microstrategy Removing sections that do not have metric data

Removing sections that do not have metric data This is an interesting feature which might not be explored by many of us and it comes us handy. A cross join between datasets can result in rows or Group Header/Footer sections that do not have metric data. For example, a document contains two datasets. Dataset 1 contains Year and Revenue, with data for three years (2007-2009). Dataset 2 contains Year and Profit, filtered to return data for only two years (2008 and 2009). If you place Year and Profit in the Details and execute the document, it displays three rows, although no profit data exists for 2007. This is a product of the cross join between the two datasets. You do not want to see the blank line for 2007 since it does not give you any data for profit. You can select the Trim sections for which no metric value data is available check box. This removes the row for 2007, since no metric data for Profit is available for 2007. The results are shown below: ...
