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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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 created using a time-based schedule will not be restricted to the primary node only. It will be load balanced across all nodes of the cluster.
 An administrative task created using time-based schedule will still only run on the primary node. However, for tasks which are relevant to be performed on all nodes of a cluster such as deletion of caches, users can schedule an administrative task to be performed on all nodes of the cluster.
 Execution of Event-Based Schedules in a MicroStrategy Intelligence Server Cluster:
In a 9.x and 10.x MicroStrategy Intelligence Server clustered environment, subscriptions created using an event-based schedule will not be restricted to any particular node. They will be load balanced across all nodes of the cluster.

An administrative task created using an event-based schedule will still only run on node where the event is triggered.

Microstrategy document/dashboard applying selections as filters or slices

Applying selections as filters or slices In a Microstrategy Document the selections a user makes in a selector can either filter or slice the data in the target: Filtering means that the data for the current selection is calculated only when it is requested by the user. The selections are used to filter the underlying dataset before the metric values are aggregated at the level of the Grid/Graph that is displayed in the document. If the source attribute is not included in the Grid/Graph, the metric values from all the selected elements are aggregated and shown at the level specified in the Grid/Graph. All metric condition selectors (which filter metric values or ranks) and selectors that target other selectors filter data by default. You cannot change them to slicing selectors. Slicing means that the data for each available item in the selector is calculated in advance when the document is first displayed. Selections made while ...

Prompt-in-prompt(Nested Prompts) in Microstrategy

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...

Custom formatting Microstrategy metric format into 1M 2M etc

Custom formatting metric values of 1,100,000 into a 1.1 million 1.1M type format  In addition to the the pre-defined options for metric formatting, MicroStrategy supports custom formatting. The MicroStrategy Tutorial project is used to explain how users can customize numbers from "1,000,000" to a "1.00" format. Consider a report containing row data values greater than a million, as illustrated below: To format these metric values to use a decimal (i.e., 1.1) instead of showing all the numerals, right-click on the metric (' Revenue ' , for this example) and select  Formatting > Revenue Values , as shown below: Select " Custom " as a category in the Number tab and enter ' 0,,.## ' (without quotation marks), as shown below: Confirm that the format applied properly:
