Transaction Services - Configure Transactions

Configure Transactions in MSTR Web


Transaction Services-enabled document displayed on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device can allow users to insert/update/delete data in to the database, using the options in the Configure Transactions Editor.

To do so, you must link a Transaction Services report to a grid or to text fields in a panel stack. If the document is being displayed on an iOS device, you can link the report to the cells of a transaction table.

Data from the input objects defined in the Transaction Services report is displayed in the grid, text fields, or cells for users to edit.

Prerequisites:
      Ã˜  You must have the Web Configure Transaction privilege assigned by MSTR user admin.
Ø  Create the Transaction Services report (usually a grid report) you want to link to the grid, text fields, or transaction table cells. Make sure that the Transaction Services report must contain the input object for each value you want to allow users to change. 
Ø  Make sure that the document has been created  with one of the following:
ü  A Grid/Graph that contains a separate attribute form or metric to link to each input object on the Transaction Services report that you want to make editable to the user. Each attribute form you want to link to an input object must be visible in the Grid/Graph. The Grid/Graph should be displayed in Grid View. 
ü  A panel stack that contains a text field to link to each input object on the Transaction Services report. 
ü  A transaction table for display on iOS devices with MicroStrategy Mobile. .

Open the document which has already been created with the grid in it. Right-click the Grid/Graph, transaction table, or any of the text fields in the panel stack, then select Configure Transaction. Navigate to and select a Transaction Services report, then click OK. The Configure Transactions Editor opens.
The following options are available:
Ø  Transaction Mapping options
Ø  Local Transaction options
Transaction Mapping options
Ø  Transaction Report: The name of the Transaction Services report you selected is displayed in the field. To select a different report, click Browse (...) , then navigate to and select the transaction report.
Ø  Input Properties: You can determine how the control used to display each input object is displayed using the Input Properties. The options are:
ü  Transaction Input: The name of each input object in the Transaction Services report is automatically displayed in the Transaction Input column.
ü  Grid Object: Select the attribute form or metric you want to link to the input object. Each input object must be linked to a separate attribute form or metric. This option is only available for Grid/Graphs.
ü  Field: Select the text field you want to link to the input object. Each input object must be linked to a separate text field. This option is only available for text fields.
ü  Editable: Determine whether the user can modify the value displayed in the control.
ü  Control Style: Determine the type of input object control to display, such as a Text Box or Slider. This option is only available if the Editable check box is selected. Click the Control Properties icon to display the Control Properties, then select the appropriate formatting options for the control. The control style determines which formatting options are available. 

Ø  Automatically recalculate values after data change: Determine whether to automatically recalculate subtotals and derived metrics when a user finishes editing a value in a grid linked to a Transaction Services report. This option is available for grids. 
Ø  Mark rows for selection (tabular grid only): Determine whether to display a check box beside each row of data in a grid, to allow the user to choose which values to use to update their data. This option is available for grids.
Ø  Flag cells/fields with modified data: Determine whether to display a flag marker next to any input object control that contains a value the user has modified.
Ø  Submit unchanged record: When a user chooses to submit his changes to the data, there may be input object controls in which he has made no changes. Determine whether to include data only from input object controls in which the user has made changes. This option is available for grids.
Ø  Allow submission without modification: Determine whether to allow users to submit their data without making changes in the input object controls displayed in the document. This option is available for text fields and transaction table cells.

Local Transaction options
Local Transaction options has been introduced in the version 10.4 onwards. Which enables the users to perform transactions such as insert/update/delete when the device is not connected to the internet/network(particularly in offline mode)
This feature will store all the offline transactions and it will perform those transactions once the device it connected to the network and without any user intervention.

Ø  Target dataset: Click the Browse icon (...) to select a dataset to update when offline transactions are performed. The Select Transaction dialog box opens. Navigate to and select the dataset, then click OK.
Ø  Dataset Object: Double-click dataset objects in the list to add them to the CSI statement used to perform offline transactions.
Ø  Field/Grid Object: Double-click fields or grid objects in the list to add them to the CSI statement used to perform offline transactions.
Ø  CSI statement manipulation: Determine whether to Update, Insert, or Delete data.
Click OK to save your changes.

    We are also noticing that traditional medical doctors are also recognizing the increased interest in holistic healing and are finally starting to incorporate these healing methods into their practice to keep up with the current trends. There are many ways to obtain a construction job interview, but some are more effective than others. strategyleap

Algorithm to calculate Logical Table Size in Microstrategy

How are the fact tables determined using the logical table size for SQL generation in MicroStrategy The logical table size is an integer number that represents the granularity or level of aggregation of a particular table. It is called 'logical' because it is not related to the physical size of the tables (number of rows). It is calculated according to the attribute IDs that are present in the table and their level in the system hierarchy.   Even though, the number does not reveal the actual number of rows in the table, it is an accurate way of measuring a table size without having to access its contents.   IMPORTANT:   The system hierarchy is defined by the parent-child relationships between attributes of the same family (formerly known as a dimension), not by user-defined hierarchies (i.e., drilling hierarchies).   MicroStrategy Engine utilizes an algorithm based on attribute keys to calculate the Logical Table Size (LTS): Given the following tables: ...

Types of prompts in Microstrategy

Types of prompts in Microstrategy The different types of prompts allow you to create a  prompt  for nearly every part of a report. Prompts can be used in many objects including reports, filters, metrics, and custom groups, but all prompts require user interaction when the report is executed. The correct prompt type to create depends on what report objects you want users to be able to base a filter on to filter data, as described in the list below. Filter definition prompts   allow users to determine how the report's data is filtered, based on one of the following objects: Attributes in a hierarchy : Users can select prompt answers from one or more attribute elements from one or more attributes. The attribute elements that they select are used to filter data displayed on the report. This prompt lets you give users the largest number of attribute elements to choose from when they answer the prompt to define their filtering criteria. For example, on a repor...

Non Aggregate metrics Beginning lookup, Ending lookup, Beginning fact., Ending fact

Non Aggregate metrics  Beginning lookup,  Ending lookup,  Beginning fact .,  Ending fact A nonaggregatable metric, such as an inventory metric, is one that should not be aggregated across an attribute.   For example, if you have monthly inventory numbers in your data warehouse and want to calculate the yearly inventory, adding the monthly numbers together does not provide a useful business measure. Instead, you may want to use the end-on-hand and beginning-on-hand inventory numbers to see how the total inventory changed during the year.  The following options are available: • To use the first value in the lookup table, select  Beginning lookup . • To use the last value in the lookup table, select  Ending lookup . • To use the first value in the fact table, select  Beginning fact . • To use the last value in the fact table, select  Ending fact .

Level metrics in Microstartegy/MSTR

Level Metrics Level metrics allows the users to choose the right combination of level target, filtering, and grouping (referred to as elements) to achieve your desired results.  The elements of a metric level are described below: • Target : The target is the attribute level at which the metric calculation groups. For a more detailed description, see  Target: The context of a calculation . • Grouping : Grouping determines how the metric aggregates. For a more detailed description, see  Grouping: How aggregation is performed . • Filtering : Filtering governs how the report filter interacts with the metric calculation. For a more detailed description, see  Filtering: Interaction with report filters . The level is indicated between the curly braces ({ }) in the metric definition shown below: Sum(Revenue) {~, Product} The tilde (~) represents the report level with standard filtering, denoted by the plus sign (+).

MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway operation modes

MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway operation modes MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway is a native connector which was built based on Spark 1.6.x. You can choose one or more data files from Hadoop HDFS and load them into MicroStrategy Intelligence Server. Data files can be published as either an In-Memory Cube or a Live Connect Cube. MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway supports three operation modes : YARN client Standalone (HDP cluster does not support Standalone) Local YARN client mode: The driver runs in the client process, and the application master is only used for requesting resources from YARN. Running in this mode requires YARN service to be enabled on your Hadoop cluster. Standalone mode:  MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway uses Spark Master to coordinate data processing. Local mode:  no application is deployed in the Spark nodes. All data processing is executed in the MicroStrategy Hadoop Gateway host. This modality is intended for testing and troubleshooting.
