Loading Intelligent Cubes when Intelligence Server Starts

When Intelligence Server is started there are various tasks that are processed to prepare a reporting environment. You can include loading all published Intelligent Cubes as one of the tasks completed when Intelligence Server is started. This affects when the load time required for Intelligent Cubes occurs.

Below are the steps to enable or disable loading Intelligent Cubes when Intelligence Server starts

In Developer, log in to a project with a user account with administrative privileges.
Right-click the project and select Project Configuration.
Expand Intelligent Cubes, and then select General.
Select or clear the Load Intelligent cubes on startup check box to enable or disable loading Intelligent Cubes when Intelligence Server starts.
Click OK.

It is always useful to consider whether to load Intelligent Cubes at Intelligence Server startup or when a report is executed that accesses a published Intelligent Cube are described in the table below:

Method	Pros	Cons
Loading Intelligent Cubes when Intelligence Server starts	Report runtime performance for reports accessing Intelligent Cubes is optimized since the Intelligent Cube for the report has already been loaded. This practice is a good option if Intelligent Cubes are commonly used in a project.	The overhead experienced during Intelligence Server startup is increased due to the processing of loading Intelligent Cubes. All Intelligent Cubes for a project are loaded into Intelligence Server memory, regardless of whether they are used by reports or not.
Loading Intelligent Cubes when a report is executed that accesses a published Intelligent Cube	The overhead experienced during Intelligence Server startup is decreased as compared to including loading Intelligent Cubes as part of the startup tasks. If Intelligent Cubes are not required by any reports, then they do not need to be loaded into Intelligence Server and no overhead is experienced. This practice is a good option if Intelligent Cubes are supported for a project, but some of the Intelligent Cubes are rarely used in the project.	Report runtime performance for reports accessing Intelligent Cubes can be negatively affected as the Intelligent Cube must first be loaded into Intelligence Server. You can also load Intelligent Cubes manually or with subscriptions after Intelligence Server is started.

The procedure below describes how to enable or disable loading Intelligent Cubes when Intelligence Server starts.

The act of loading an Intelligent Cube can require memory resources in the area of two times greater than the size of an Intelligent Cube. This can affect performance of your Intelligence Server as well as the ability to load the Intelligent Cube.

Internationalization Design Technics

Microstrategy Internationalization Design Technics MicroStrategy supports data internationalization through two different techniques. You can either provide translated data through the use of extra tables and columns, or you can provide separate databases to store your translated data. These techniques are described below: You can support data internationalization in your database by using separate tables and columns to store your translated data. You can use various combinations of tables and columns to support and identify the translated data in your database. To support displaying the name of each month in multiple languages, you can include the translated names in a separate column, one for each required language, within the same table. Each column can use a suffix to identify that the column contains translated data for a certain language. The same LU_MONTH_OF_YEAR table with translated data for the Spanish and German langua...

Personalizing file locations, email and file subscriptions using macros in Microstrategy

Personalizing file locations MSTr allows to dynamically specify the File Location and Backup File Location in a file device using macros. For example, if you specify the File Location as C:\Reports\{&RecipientName}\ , all subscriptions using that file device are delivered to subfolders of C:\Reports\ . Subscribed reports or documents for each recipient are delivered to a subfolder with that recipient’s name, such as C:\Reports\Jane Smith\ or C:\Reports\Hiro Protagonist\ . The table below lists the macros that can be used in the File Location and Backup File Location fields in a file device: Description Macro Date on which the subscription is sent {&Date} Time at which the subscription is sent {&Time} Name of the recipient {&RecipientName} User ID (32-character GUID) of the recipient {&RecipientID} Distribution Services add...

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).
