MSTR The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table

The screen shot below illustrates the setting "The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table" in the logical view of a warehouse table:
external image rtaImage?eid=ka1440000009HBu&feoid=00N44000006TPNo&refid=0EM440000002FzU
This setting is only applicable when the attributes on the template are comprised of all the attributes listed as table keys in the logical view of the fact table. Therefore, when checked, this setting forces the Structured Query Language (SQL) to not aggregate the data and to pull only from the fact tables directly.The following SQL demonstrates the difference between two identical reports when this setting is checked and when it is not. The report SQL is provided below the grid view.The first report was run against the fact table City_Subcateg_Sls without the "The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table" checked. It demonstrates aggregation by the metric:
select a11.CUST_CITY_ID CUST_CITY_ID,

max(a12.CUST_CITY_NAME) CUST_CITY_NAME,

a11.SUBCAT_ID SUBCAT_ID,

max(a13.SUBCAT_DESC) SUBCAT_DESC,

sum(a11.TOT_COST) COST

from CITY_SUBCATEG_SLS a11

join LU_CUST_CITY a12

on (a11.CUST_CITY_ID = a12.CUST_CITY_ID)

join LU_SUBCATEG a13

on (a11.SUBCAT_ID = a13.SUBCAT_ID)

group by a11.CUST_CITY_ID,

a11.SUBCAT_ID

The following SQL demonstrates that by having all the keys from the fact table on the report template, the setting "The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table" allows the metric to return the values straight from the fact table without aggregation. This optimizes the SQL generated considerably:

select a11.CUST_CITY_ID CUST_CITY_ID,

a12.CUST_CITY_NAME CUST_CITY_NAME,

a11.SUBCAT_ID SUBCAT_ID,

a13.SUBCAT_DESC SUBCAT_DESC,

a11.TOT_COST COST

from CITY_SUBCATEG_SLS a11

join LU_CUST_CITY a12

on (a11.CUST_CITY_ID = a12.CUST_CITY_ID)

join LU_SUBCATEG a13

on (a11.SUBCAT_ID = a13.SUBCAT_ID)

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 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 ...

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:...

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...

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...

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...

Reduce Intelligent Cube Size By Finding Intelligent Cube Objects Which Are Not In Use

Reduce Intelligent Cube Size By Finding Intelligent Cube Objects Which Are Not In Use If the i-cubes can potentially be reduced in size an audit can be performed on the cube objects to see which cube objects are not being used by any of the view reports, documents, or dossiers.   The below are examples for a few of the common metadata database platforms . NOTE: To perform this audit, queries are run against the MicroStrategy metadata database. Ensure a metadata backup is taken prior to performing the below actions. Steps: 1) Identify the object ID of the Intelligent cube to be audited by checking the objects Property window 2) Identify the object ID of the project this cube exists within by opening the Project Configuration Sample Cube ID =   CFAF1E9B4D53990698C42E87C7AF2EB5 Sample Project ID =  B7CA92F04B9FAE8D941C3E9B7E0CD754   3) Run the below SQL against the metadata database by replacing the Cube ID and Project ID within the respective ...

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...
