Enabling the Quick Search feature for MicroStrategy Web

Enable the quick search for MicroStrategy Web

When exporting a report containing an image attribute form (using an ApplySimple statement) to PDF in MicroStrategy Web 9.4.1 and 10.x, with the Intelligence Server running on Linux, the image in the exported PDF report appears as a red "X" as shown below:

However, the images in the report display properly when the report is executed in MicroStrategy Developer and Web. Furthermore, when the report is exported to PDF on Desktop (with the original images saved in WebASPX\Images), the images in the report display properly, as indicated below:

CAUSE

This is expected behavior. When the report is displayed in MicroStrategy Developer and Web, or when the report is exported to PDF from MicroStrategy Developer, images in the "WebASPX\Images" folder are used. However, when a report that contains images is exported to PDF from Web, the Intelligence Server will attempt to reference the location in the "IntelligenceServer\Images" folder on the Intelligence Server machine and will use the images stored in that location. If there are no images in that location, or the images do not have the same filenames as on the Web machine, the exported report will not be able to properly display the images and a red "X" is displayed instead.

ACTION

This issue can be resolved by placing a copy of the images (with the appropriate naming convention) from the MicroStrategy Web machine into the "IntelligenceServer\Images" folder on the Intelligence Server machine.

Fact tables levels tables in Microstrategy explained

Fact tables levels in Microstrategy: Fact tables are used to store fact data. Fact tables should contain attribute Id's and fact values which are measurable. All the descriptive information about the fact tables should stored in Dimension tables either in Star Schema fashion or Snow Flake Schema fashion which is best suited to your reporting solution. Since attributes provide context for fact values, both fact columns and attribute ID columns are included in fact tables. Facts help to link indirectly related attributes using these attribute ID columns. The attribute ID columns included in a fact table represent the level at which the facts in that table are stored. So the level of a fact table in the Fact_Item_Day_Customer can be the attribute Id's which is at Day, Item & Customer Id level. For example, fact tables containing sales and inventory data look like the tables shown in the following diagram: Base fact columns ver...

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...

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...

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 ...

Multi-Table Data Import(MTDI) from one or more supported data sources

Multi-Table Data Import(MTDI) from one or more supported data sources In MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise Web 10 onewards, users can now simultaneously import two or more tables from one or more supported data sources, this feature is called Multi-Table Data Import (MTDI) which has been renamed as Super Cubes in MSTR 2019 (Does it sound like multisourcing for all the users without admin help?) Currently, all connectors in MicroStrategy Web 10 except " OLAP " and " Search Engine Indices " support Multi-Table Data Import. Users are able to add multiple tables/files when doing data import from single connector, as shown below: Users are also able to combine multiple tables/files from different sources and store them into one single Intelligent Cube, as shown below:
