Environment Main Application URL Administration URL J2EE http://webserver/MicroStrategy/servlet/mstrWeb http://webserver/MicroStrategy/servlet/mstrWebAdmin .NET http://webserver/MicroStrategy/asp/Main.aspx http://webserver/MicroStrategy/asp/Admin.aspx Every request sent to MicroStrategy Web calls a central controller. Parameters are appended to Main.aspx or mstrWeb (in a .NET and J2EE environment, respectively) to indicate to the controller how the request should be internally forwarded and handled. The following examples show a URL for accessing a MicroStrategy folder when the user does not have an existing session.

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...

Multi-Table Data Import(MTDI) from one or more supported data sources

Multi-Table Data Import(MTDI) from one or more supported data sources In MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise Web 10 onewards, users can now simultaneously import two or more tables from one or more supported data sources, this feature is called Multi-Table Data Import (MTDI) which has been renamed as Super Cubes in MSTR 2019 (Does it sound like multisourcing for all the users without admin help?) Currently, all connectors in MicroStrategy Web 10 except " OLAP " and " Search Engine Indices " support Multi-Table Data Import. Users are able to add multiple tables/files when doing data import from single connector, as shown below: Users are also able to combine multiple tables/files from different sources and store them into one single Intelligent Cube, as shown below:

Disable data blending in MicroStrategy

Disable data blending in MicroStrategy Starting in MicroStrategy 9.4 data blending was made available for documents and dashboards. This permits grid, graph and widget objects to source data from multiple different datasets at the same time. This is available under the analytical engine VLDB properties inside of project configuration. The property is named "document grids from multiple datasets" and defaults to enabled but can be set to disabled. Below are the steps to enable/disable the settings of data blending: 1. Go to project configuration by right clicking on specific project(You need admin rights to do this). 2. In the Project configuration windows as shown below select Configure under Project level VLDB settings section. 3. Now it will open the VLDB settings window, select + on " Analytical Engine Settings " and then click on " Document Grids from multiple datasets " option. You will be presented with two...

Star schemas and aggregate (or summary) fact tables Aggregate tables can further improve query performance by reducing the number of rows over which higher-level metrics must be aggregated. However, the use of aggregate tables with dimension tables is not a valid physical modeling strategy. Whenever aggregation is performed over fact data, it is a general requirement that tables joined to the fact table must be at the same attribute level or at a higher level. If the auxiliary table is at a lower level, fact rows will be replicated prior to aggregation and this will result in inflated metric values (also known as "multiple counting"). With the above Time dimension table, a fact table at the level of Day functions correctly because there is exactly one row in DIM_TIME for each day. To aggregate the facts to the level of Quarter, it is valid to join the fact table to the dimension table and group by the quarter ID from the dimension table. Sql select DT...

Settings for Outer Join between metrics in MicroStrategy

Settings for Outer Join between metrics in MicroStrategy MicroStrategy adopts multi-pass logic to determine the execution plan for a report. This means that every metric is evaluated in separate SQL passes. Outer Joins come into play when MicroStrategy Engine merges the results from all SQL passes into one report. For a multi-pass report, different Outer Join behaviors can give the user completely different results. In addition, report metrics can be of different types which can, in some cases, influence the result of the outer join. In MicroStrategy, there are two settings that users can access to control Outer Join behavior : Formula Join Type and Metric Join Type . Metric Join Type: VLDB Setting at Database Instance Level Report and Template Levels Report Editor > Data > Report Data Options Metric Level Metric editor > Tools > Metric Join Type Control Join between Metrics Formula Join Type: Only at Compound/Split...

Microstrategy Dashboard performance improvements steps

Microstrategy Dashboard performance improvements steps: Many times, causes of poor performance can be simplified to specific components. To troubleshoot performance issues, users must identify these components, then make the appropriate modifications to the environment and/or to the MicroStrategy dashboard to reduce bottlenecks. Dashboard execution stages can be represented below: MicroStrategy Intelligence Server When an end user makes a Document Execution Request through any client (a web browser via MicroStrategy Web, the MicroStrategy Desktop/Developer client, the MicroStrategy Mobile app, or the MicroStrategy Office client), the request is sent to the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server, which processes the request and prepares the response. The MicroStrategy Intelligence Server will execute all children datasets on the dashboard by either generating SQL and running this against the data warehouse, or by fetching data from a cache. The Inte...
