Super Cubes in MicroStrategy 2019


Super Cubes in MicroStrategy 2019


Beginning in MicroStrategy 11.0 and 2019, users will notice objects referred to as "Super Cubes".  Super Cubes are simply a renaming of what was previously referred to as MTDI (Multi Table Data Import) Cubes.
Note that only the naming convention has changed, as the functionality remains the same. This name change is visible in MicroStrategy Workstation and MicroStrategy Web.

In MicroStrategy Workstation, right click on any cube created via Data Import and select Properties. The object Type is listed as Super Cube:

Logical Views to specify an outer join between two attribute lookup tables when only attributes are on a report

Logical Views to specify an outer join between two attribute lookup tables when only attributes are on a report Apart from using the VLDB properties to create the left outer join,  article describes how to use the Logical View to specify an outer join between two attribute lookup tables when only attributes are on a report. This method exists as attribute only outer joins will not be generated on their own by the MicroStrategy SQL engine. This is because they are only necessary with r agged/unbalanced hierarchies which are not supported as null attribute IDs are not supported (parent elements with no child elements or child elements with no parents).  Brief instructions are provided using the example below. Consider, two attributes: Parent01 and Child01 have a parent-child relationship. Their Lookup tables are defined, as follows Parent01 Child01 Note that although there are 4 ID values for the attribute Parent01, there is no defined relationship ...
