MSTR Report Pre and Post Statements



Report Post Statement

The Report Post Statement settings insert custom SQL statements after the final SELECT statement but before the DROP statements. The settings are numbered 1-5. Each text string entered in Report Post Statement 1 through Report Post Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Report Post Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately. The custom SQL is applied to every intermediate table or view.

Report Pre Statement

The Report Pre Statement settings insert custom SQL statements at the beginning of the report SQL. The settings are numbered 1-5. Each text string entered in Report Pre Statement 1 through Report Pre Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Report Pre Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately.

Table Post Statement

The Table Post Statement settings insert custom SQL statements after the CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO statement. The settings are numbered 1-5. Each text string entered in Table Post Statement 1 through Table Post Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Table Post Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately. The custom SQL is applied to every intermediate table or view

Microstrategy Dossiers explained

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 ...

Administration standards to optimize network data transfer speeds

Optimization standards to help developers work with the System Administrator to optimize network data transfer speeds: Place all server components in the same segment to minimize latency between the Intelligence Server, Web server, data warehouse server, and metadata server Expand bandwidth and minimize latency between servers and clients to ensure that bottlenecks do not occur when data is requested over your network Use HTTP compression between the Web servers and Web clients to achieve maximum throughput between these components Configure a Web proxy server to handle caching and reduce the load on the Web server

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...

MicroStrategy URL API Parameters

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:...

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...

Personalizing file locations, email and file subscriptions using macros in Microstrategy

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...

Time-based and event-based schedules

Time-based and event-based schedules executed in a clustered MicroStrategy A  schedule  is a MicroStrategy object that contains information specifying when a task is to be executed. Schedules are stored at the project source level, and are available to all projects within the project source. MicroStrategy Intelligence Server supports two kinds of schedules: Time-triggered schedules execute at a specific date and time, or at a specific recurring date and time. These schedules execute based on the time on the machine where they were created. Event-triggered schedules execute when the event associated with them is triggered. Both types of schedules can be used to schedule reports and documents, called subscriptions, or to schedule administrative tasks like delete all history list, idle project, etc. Execution of Time-Based Schedules in a MicroStrategy Intelligence Server Cluster: In a 9.x MicroStrategy Intelligence Server clustered environment, subscriptions...
