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.

Scheduling a report or document to be sent to an FTP in MSTR

Scheduling a report or document to be sent to an FTP server You can have a report or document automatically delivered to a location on your FTP server on a specific schedule. To do so, you must subscribe to the report or document, as described in the steps below. You can customize your subscription by typing macros in the  File Name ,  Sub-folder , or  Zip File Name  fields. These macros are automatically replaced with the appropriate text when the report or document is delivered. For example, you create a subscription to a document. If you type  {&Project}  in the  File Name field, the name of the project in which the document is saved is displayed in the name of the document when it is delivered. • This procedure assumes that an administrator has already added your FTP server as a new device in Developer. Steps to do so are included in the  System Administrator Help . To send a report or document to an FTP server on a schedule ...

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 ...

Apply or Pass-through functions in Microstrategy

Ap ply (Pass-Through) functions MSTR Apply functions provide access to functions or syntactic constructs that are not standard in MicroStrategy but are provided by various RDBMS systems.. Syntax common to Apply functions Apply Function Name   ("expression with placeholders", Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, …ArgN) where: Apply Function Name  – is a generic name used for the predefined pass-through functions described above expression with placeholders  – is the string describing the actual expression or syntax that the engine uses while generating the SQL and which is sent to the RDBMS. The placeholders are represented by #0, #1, and so on. "#" is a reserved character for MicroStrategy. Arg  – is an argument that replaces the parameter markers in the pattern. Arg1 replaces #0, Arg2 replaces #1, and so on. There are   five  pre-defined Apply functions to replace regular, predefined functions of the same type. For more details, cli...
