MSTR Report Pre and Post Statements

Report Post Statement

The Report Post Statement settings insert custom SQL statements after the final SELECT statement but before the DROP statements. The settings are numbered 1-5. Each text string entered in Report Post Statement 1 through Report Post Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Report Post Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately. The custom SQL is applied to every intermediate table or view.

Report Pre Statement

The Report Pre Statement settings insert custom SQL statements at the beginning of the report SQL. The settings are numbered 1-5. Each text string entered in Report Pre Statement 1 through Report Pre Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Report Pre Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately.

Table Post Statement

The Table Post Statement settings insert custom SQL statements after the CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO statement. The settings are numbered 1-5. Each text string entered in Table Post Statement 1 through Table Post Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Table Post Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately. The custom SQL is applied to every intermediate table or view

Customers Who Live in the Same City as Call Centers

Customers Who Live in the Same City as Call Centers Your new utility company has call centers located throughout the country, and your recent surveys indicate that customers who live in the same city as a call center are particularly satisfied with service due to extremely rapid repairs during power outages. To begin your new advertising campaign, you want to generate a list of Call Centers that coincide with Customer Cities. The following steps create an attribute-to-attribute qualification filter that generates the list of desired cities. To Create an Attribute-To-Attribute Qualification that Compares the Call Center and Customer City Attributes In MicroStrategy Web, log in to a project. Open any folder page (for example, click Shared Folders on the home page). Click the Create Filter icon . From the Object browser on the left, select the Customer City attribute from the Customers hierarchy and drag it to the filter pane on the right. Change Qualify...

Administration standards to optimize network data transfer speeds

Optimization standards to help developers work with the System Administrator to optimize network data transfer speeds: Place all server components in the same segment to minimize latency between the Intelligence Server, Web server, data warehouse server, and metadata server Expand bandwidth and minimize latency between servers and clients to ensure that bottlenecks do not occur when data is requested over your network Use HTTP compression between the Web servers and Web clients to achieve maximum throughput between these components Configure a Web proxy server to handle caching and reduce the load on the Web server

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...

Relationship with Report Filter options for Levels metrics

Relationship with Report Filter options for Levels metrics You can define how the report filter affects the metric calculation. From the Relationship with Report Filter drop-down list, select one of the following: • To include only data that meets the conditions in the report filter in the metric calculation, select Standard filtering . • To raise the level of the report filter to the level of the target, if possible, then apply the report filter to the metric calculation, select Absolute filtering . For example, the report filter contains the Washington, DC, Boston, and New York call centers, but the Revenue metric is calculated at the Region level. Because Call Center is a child attribute of Region, the report filter's level is raised to the Region level, and the report filter is treated as if it includes the regions that contain Washington, DC, Boston, and New York (in this case, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast). Data from all call centers in the Mid-At...

To jump to a section of the formatting symbol table, click one of the following: Numeric symbols Character/text symbols Date and time symbols Text color symbols Currency symbols Conditional symbols Numeric symbols For details on how numeric symbols apply to the Big Decimal data type, refer to the Project Design Guide . ...

Bursting file subscriptions Microstartegy

Bursting file subscriptions: Delivering parts of reports across multiple files: Large MicroStrategy reports and documents are often broken up into separate pages by attributes. In a similar way, with Distribution Services, you can split up, or burst, a report or document into multiple files. When the subscription is executed, a separate file is created for each element of each attribute selected for bursting. Each file has a portion of data according to the attributes used to group data in the report (page-by axis) or document (group-by axis). Ex:, you may have a report with information for all regions. You could place Region in the page-by axis and burst the file subscription into the separate regions. This creates one report file for each region. As a second ex:, if you choose to burst your report using the Region and Category attributes, a separate file is created for each combination of Region and Category, such as Central and Books as a report, Central and Ele...

Metric values are repeated across rows when a report is executed in MicroStrategy

Metric values are repeated across rows when a report is executed in MicroStrategy When comparing report results between DB Query Tool and MicroStrategy, some reports show repeated metric values in MicroStrategy where there were none in DB Query Tool. To illustrate the issue, a fact table CAT_ITEM_SLS has been added into the MicroStrategy Tutorial project and populated with a small set of three rows. CAT_ID ITEM_ID REVENUE 1 1 10 1 2 20 2 2 30 Report results in DB Query Tool: Report results in MicroStrategy: In MicroStrategy, the row for "Art As Experience" in the Spring 2007 catalog repeats the $20 value from the Winter 2007 catalog, where DB Query Tool shows the $30 value from the fact table. CAUSE The discrepancy occurs because the attribute elements for Catalog and Item are in a many-to-many relationship, but the attribute relationship in the MicroStrategy schema is defined incorrectly w...

MicroStrategy URL API Parameters

MicroStrategy URL Structure The following table summarizes the root URL structure used for every request to MicroStrategy Web. 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. The URL contains not only the parameters needed to connect to MicroStrategy Web, but also the parameters needed to log on and create a session. J2EE environment: <a href="http:...
