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. Lin...

Microstrategy Attributes relationship using a relationship table

Relationship tables in Microstrategy Relate tables store information about the relationship between two attributes when one a parent of the other or vice-versa.. Relate tables contain the ID columns of two or more attributes, which will define associations between them. Relate tables are often used to create relationships between attributes that have a many-to-many relationship to each other. With attributes whose direct relationship is one-to-many—in which every element of a parent attribute can relate to multiple elements of a child attribute—you define parent-child relationships by placing the ID column of the parent attribute in the lookup table of the child attribute. The parent ID column in the child table is called a foreign key. This technique allows you to define relationships between attributes in the attributes’ lookup tables, creating tables that function as both lookup tables and relate tables as shown in the following diagram: ...

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. It can be used to perfo...

Use a Visualization to Filter the Data in Another Visualization in a Dossier

Use a Visualization to Filter the Data in Another Visualization Once you add visualizations to a dossier, you can use one visualization to filter or highlight data in another visualization. Define one visualization as the source. Then, select the other visualizations you want to filter or highlight as targets. The target visualizations only display or highlight data that also appears in the source. Your target visualization can be in any chapter or page within your dossier. Open a dossier with two or more visualizations. To enable a visualization to filter or highlight the data in another visualization Open the dossier you want to modify. Hover over the visualization to use as the source and click More in the top right and choose Select Target . A icon appears in the upper left corner of the source visualization. The name of the source visualization appears after Use visualization at the top of the screen. If the source visualization...

Joint child relationships in MSTR

Joint child relationships Some attributes exist at the intersection of other indirectly related attributes. Such attributes are called joint children. Joint child relationships connect special attributes that are sometimes called cross-dimensional attributes, text facts, or qualities. They do not fit neatly into the modeling schemes you have learned about thus far. These relationships can be modeled and conceptualized like traditional attributes but, like facts, they exist at the intersection of multiple attribute levels. Many source systems refer to these special attributes as flags. Therefore, if flags are referenced in your source system documentation, these are likely candidates for joint child relationships. Joint child relationships are really another type of many-to-many relationship where one attribute has a many-to-many relationship to two otherwise unrelated attributes. For example, consider the relationship between three attributes: Promotion, Ite...

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...

display a group horizontally in MSTR document

Display a group horizontally in MSTR document By default, groups are displayed vertically in a document. This means that the detail sections are displayed below the Group Header. For example, a document is grouped by Year. The Detail section includes revenue and profit information by region. Displaying the group vertically yields the following document: For certain documents, displaying and printing the group horizontally is desired. When displayed horizontally, the detail sections are displayed next to the Group Header, running horizontally across the page. The example given above, if displayed horizontally, shows a row containing the year, and then, for each region, the Region, Revenue, and Profit. When the document is viewed as a PDF, it displays as shown below: When being designed, the document with horizontal display looks like the following in MicroStrategy Developer: The sections within the group are turned sideways and listed horizontally...
