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.

System Manager workflow to execute on a schedule

Creating a System Manager workflow to execute on a schedule System Manager workflow can execute on a schedule or after an event has been triggered. This can be accomplished by creating a simple batch file, and scheduling that batch file to execute with a third-party tool like Microsoft Task Scheduler. Note : To avoid user permission conflicts, the following steps must be performed with highest privileges. In the below example, the workflow makes the i-server restarts every day. 1. The user must first have a valid workflow. This particular workflow is a template that is delivered out-of-the-box with System Manager. 2. Save the workflow in .smw format. 3. In a text editor (such as Notepad), enter the command line statement that the task scheduler should execute. MASysMgr.exe -w C:\filename.smw” “UserName=User1 “Password=1234” 4. Save the file in .bat format. 5. To test the new batch file, the user can execute the batch file
