Enable Incremental fetch in MSTR documents

Enable Incremental fetch in MSTR documents


 Incremental fetch divides large documents or layouts into pages, thereby loading the data in batches (or blocks) rather than all at the same time. This improves the usability and performance of a large document or layout, by reducing the load and overall memory usage on the web server.

To apply incremental fetch to a document

  • In MicroStrategy Web, open the document in the Document Editor.
  • If the document contains multiple layouts, select the layout to apply incremental fetch to.
  • From the Tools menu, choose Document Properties. The Document Properties dialog box opens.
  • On the left, under Layout Properties, select Advanced.
  • Select the Enable Incremental Fetch check box.
  • From the Fetch Level drop-down list, select the object to be counted for the incremental fetch level.
  • If the document or layout is grouped, the groups are displayed in the drop-down list. Groups that are displayed as a single element only are not shown on this list.
  • If the document or layout is not grouped or all the groups are displayed as single elements only, the only option is the Detail section.
  • Enter the Block Size, which is the number of objects (of the Fetch Level) that are returned in each block.
  • Click OK to return to the document.

Incremental fetch on Grid/Graphs

Incremental fetch divides large Grid/Graphs into pages, thereby loading the data in batches rather than all at the same time. This improves the usability and performance of a large Grid/Graph, by reducing the load and overall memory usage on the web server. Only a Grid/Graph displayed as a grid can be split into rows or blocks, and therefore incrementally fetched. This includes the grid portion of a Grid/Graph displayed as both a grid and a graph simultaneously.
This setting applies only to the rows, not the columns, of the Grid/Graph.
The batches of data are defined by the number of rows or blocks to return at a time. For example, a Grid/Graph on a document contains 360 rows. Incremental fetch is applied, with the number of rows per page set to 25. Only 25 rows are displayed on a single page of the Grid/Graph. Users can click the page numbers at the bottom of the screen to display more information. The document is shown below in Interactive Mode in MicroStrategy Web:

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.

Types of filters in Microstrategy

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.

Create an alert-based subscription in MicroStrategy Distribution Services

Create an alert-based subscription in MicroStrategy Distribution Services on Web Subscription to a report or Report Services document which will be executed when a certain conditional threshold is met based on another executing report. For example, a scheduled report executes which shows the Revenue by day for the past week. If the Revenue on any one day falls below a certain value, a subscription to another report or Report Services document can be triggered and delivered to a recipient. An alert based subscription can only be created directly on a report; however, another report or Report Services document can be delivered when the alert based subscription is triggered. Note: you need a grid report to create an alert and you cannot create if you want to create on a document with text boxes. The following example will walk through the basic steps on how to setup a subscription based on an alert like this: Follow the brief  steps bel...

Microstrategy Report Execution Process

The Report Execution Process  Report execution process at a high level: The report execution process is a three-step process:  1. Query Stage : Retrieve data from the warehouse  2. Populate and Evaluate : Fill report data required for display  3. Cross-tab : Pivot and display sorting and page-by Each of the engines plays an important part in the report execution process.  As you can imagine, the SQL Engine performs its role during the Query stage while the Query Engine and Analytical Engine can be involved in all three stages.
