Clean uninstall MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise using the Uninstallation Cleanup Utility
How to clean uninstall MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise using the Uninstallation Cleanup Utility
CONSIDERATIONS/GUIDELINES:
This Uninstallation Cleanup Utility is designed to remove the obsolete or leftover services, files and registries after uninstalling MicroStrategy products.
The goal of this cleanup utility is to remove the leftover files and registries after uninstallation to make the machine "cleaner" for a second time installation (it can solve some known downgrade installation issues).
The basic assumption for removing files is that the user installed MicroStrategy in a path that contains the string "MicroStrategy". If not, the files and certain registry keys will not be removed.
Using the cleanup utility incorrectly can cause system-wide problems that may require re-installation of the Operating System. This utility should always be tested in a test environment before being run in a production environment.

Show Control the display of null and zero metric values in a grid report You can determine how to display or hide rows and columns in a grid report that consist only of null or zero metric values. You can have MicroStrategy hide the rows and columns in the following ways: Hide rows and columns that consist only of null metric values Hide rows and columns that consist only of zero metric values Hide rows and columns that consist only of null or zero metric values (default) Once you have defined how MicroStrategy hides null and zero metric values in the grid, you can quickly show or hide the grid using the Hide Nulls/Zeros option in the Data menu, as described below, or by clicking the Hide Nulls/Zeros icon in the Data toolbar. To determine how null and zero metric values are displayed or hidden in a grid report Open the report in Edit mode. From the Tools menu, select Report Options . The Report Options dialog box opens.

Prompt-in-prompt(Nested Prompts) in Microstrategy Nested prompts allows you to create one prompt based on the other and other bases on another, nested prompts allows us to prompt the highest level(Like year) to middle level(like Quarter, then to the low level(like Month). Here you can see how to create a 3-level deep nested prompt that will prompt the user to select a year, then a quarter within that year, then a month within that quarter. Prompt-in-prompt is a feature in which the answer to one prompt is used to define another prompt. This feature is only implemented for element list prompts . The following procedure describes how to achieve this: Create the highest level filter. This is a filter which contains a prompt on an attribute element list. Create a filter on the attribute "Year." Click "prompt on attribute element list" and click "Next" through the rest of the screens to accept the default values. Do not set any additio
Microstrategy Caches Improving Response Time: Caching A cache is a result set that is stored on a system to improve response time in future requests.

Metric values are repeated across rows when a report is executed in MicroStrategy When comparing report results between DB Query Tool and MicroStrategy, some reports show repeated metric values in MicroStrategy where there were none in DB Query Tool. To illustrate the issue, a fact table CAT_ITEM_SLS has been added into the MicroStrategy Tutorial project and populated with a small set of three rows. CAT_ID ITEM_ID REVENUE 1 1 10 1 2 20 2 2 30 Report results in DB Query Tool: Report results in MicroStrategy: In MicroStrategy, the row for "Art As Experience" in the Spring 2007 catalog repeats the $20 value from the Winter 2007 catalog, where DB Query Tool shows the $30 value from the fact table. CAUSE The discrepancy occurs because the attribute elements for Catalog and Item are in a many-to-many relationship, but the attribute relationship in the MicroStrategy schema is defined incorrectly with a one-to-many relationship. Not
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
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:
Types of filters in Microstrategy Below are the types of filters: 1. Attribute qualification filter These types of qualifications restrict data related to attributes on the report. a) Attribute form qualification Filters data related to a business attribute’s form(s), such as ID or description. • For example, the attribute Customer has the forms ID, First Name, Last Name, Address, and Birth Date. An attribute form qualification might filter on the form Last Name, the operator Begins With, and the letter H. The results show a list of customers whose last names start with the letter H. b) Attribute element list qualification Filters data related to a business attribute’s elements, such as New York, Washington, and San Francisco, which are elements of the attribute City. • For example, the attribute Customer has the elements John Smith, Jane Doe, William Hill, and so on. An attribute element list qualification can filter data to display only those customers sp

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 address that the subscription is delivered to {&AddressName} File path that a
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 without any formal training. In fact, the add
