Microstrategy "Error type: Odbc error. Odbc operation attempted


 "Error type: Odbc error. Odbc operation attempted: SQLExecDirect. [HYT00:0: on SQLHANDLE] [MicroStrategy][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver]Timeout expired" is shown when executing reports from Web
When users are trying to execute some reports in MicroStrategy web in particular, they may receive the Error “SQL Generation Complete Index out of range” and “Timeout expired” error as shown below:


Possible Causes:
One possible cause is that the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server using a cached database connection that was already dropped by the RDBMS.

To resolve this:

Admin should delete the database connection caches and create a new DSNs in case they are sharing DSNs to connect to different databases. In addition, change the settings for the ‘Connection lifetime’ and the ‘Connection idle time out’. 

Follow the steps below to perform the mentioned changes and verify the report after each step and some of the settings require i-server restarts:
  • Go to Administration > System Monitors > Database Connections, and remove all the Database connection caches.
  • In MicroStrategy Desktop, go to Administration > Configuration Managers > Database Instances > Open the Database Instance that is getting the error.
  • Under the General tab, go to Database connection > Select the connection > click on ‘Modify’ > In the Database Connections window > Go to the Advanced tab > under Connection Caching > Set ‘connection lifetime’ and the ‘connection idle time out’ to 0 (zero) seconds.
  • Restart MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.

Level metrics in Microstartegy/MSTR

Level Metrics Level metrics allows the users to choose the right combination of level target, filtering, and grouping (referred to as elements) to achieve your desired results.  The elements of a metric level are described below: • Target : The target is the attribute level at which the metric calculation groups. For a more detailed description, see  Target: The context of a calculation . • Grouping : Grouping determines how the metric aggregates. For a more detailed description, see  Grouping: How aggregation is performed . • Filtering : Filtering governs how the report filter interacts with the metric calculation. For a more detailed description, see  Filtering: Interaction with report filters . The level is indicated between the curly braces ({ }) in the metric definition shown below: Sum(Revenue) {~, Product} The tilde (~) represents the report level with standard filtering, denoted by the plus sign (+). If you add item as a level, th...

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...

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...

System Manager workflow to execute on a schedule

Creating a System Manager workflow to execute on a schedule System Manager workflow can execute on a schedule or after an event has been triggered. This can be accomplished by creating a simple batch file, and scheduling that batch file to execute with a third-party tool like Microsoft Task Scheduler.   Note : To avoid user permission conflicts, the following steps must be performed with highest privileges.   In the below example, the workflow makes the i-server restarts every day.   1. The user must first have a valid workflow. This particular workflow is a template that is delivered out-of-the-box with System Manager.   2. Save the workflow in  .smw  format.   3. In a text editor (such as Notepad), enter the command line statement that the task scheduler should execute.     MASysMgr.exe -w C:\filename.smw” “UserName=User1 “Password=1234”   4. Save the file in  .bat  ...

Transaction Services - Configure Transactions

Configure Transactions in MSTR Web Transaction Services-enabled document displayed on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device can allow users to insert/update/delete data in to the database, using the options in the Configure Transactions Editor. To do so, you must link a Transaction Services report to a grid or to text fields in a panel stack. If the document is being displayed on an iOS device, you can link the report to the cells of a transaction table. Data from the input objects defined in the Transaction Services report is displayed in the grid, text fields, or cells for users to edit. Prerequisites:        Ø   You must have the Web Configure Transaction privilege assigned by MSTR user admin. Ø   Create the Transaction Services report (usually a grid report) you want to link to the grid, text fields, or transaction table cells.
