MSTR The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table

The screen shot below illustrates the setting "The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table" in the logical view of a warehouse table:
external image rtaImage?eid=ka1440000009HBu&feoid=00N44000006TPNo&refid=0EM440000002FzU
This setting is only applicable when the attributes on the template are comprised of all the attributes listed as table keys in the logical view of the fact table. Therefore, when checked, this setting forces the Structured Query Language (SQL) to not aggregate the data and to pull only from the fact tables directly.The following SQL demonstrates the difference between two identical reports when this setting is checked and when it is not. The report SQL is provided below the grid view.The first report was run against the fact table City_Subcateg_Sls without the "The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table" checked. It demonstrates aggregation by the metric:
select a11.CUST_CITY_ID CUST_CITY_ID,

max(a12.CUST_CITY_NAME) CUST_CITY_NAME,

a11.SUBCAT_ID SUBCAT_ID,

max(a13.SUBCAT_DESC) SUBCAT_DESC,

sum(a11.TOT_COST) COST

from CITY_SUBCATEG_SLS a11

join LU_CUST_CITY a12

on (a11.CUST_CITY_ID = a12.CUST_CITY_ID)

join LU_SUBCATEG a13

on (a11.SUBCAT_ID = a13.SUBCAT_ID)

group by a11.CUST_CITY_ID,

a11.SUBCAT_ID

The following SQL demonstrates that by having all the keys from the fact table on the report template, the setting "The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table" allows the metric to return the values straight from the fact table without aggregation. This optimizes the SQL generated considerably:

select a11.CUST_CITY_ID CUST_CITY_ID,

a12.CUST_CITY_NAME CUST_CITY_NAME,

a11.SUBCAT_ID SUBCAT_ID,

a13.SUBCAT_DESC SUBCAT_DESC,

a11.TOT_COST COST

from CITY_SUBCATEG_SLS a11

join LU_CUST_CITY a12

on (a11.CUST_CITY_ID = a12.CUST_CITY_ID)

join LU_SUBCATEG a13

on (a11.SUBCAT_ID = a13.SUBCAT_ID)

Microstrategy Dossiers explained

Microstrategy  Dossiers With the release of MicroStrategy 10.9, we’ve taken a leap forward in our dashboarding capabilities by simplifying the user experience, adding storytelling, and collaboration.MSTR has  evolved dashboards to the point that they are more than dashboards - they are  interactive, collaborative analytic stories . Ultimately, it was time to go beyond dashboards, both in concept and in name, and so  the've  renamed VI dashboards to  ‘ dossiers ’.  Dossiers can be created by using the new Desktop product or Workstation or simply from the Web interface which replaces Visual Insights. All the existing visual Insights dashboards will be converted to Dossiers   With MicroStrategy 10.9, there was an active focus on making it easier to build dashboards for the widest audience of end users. To achieve this, some key new capabilities were added that make it easier to author, read, interact and collaborate on dashboards ...

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...

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...

Control the display of null and zero metric values

Show   Control the display of null and zero metric values in a grid report You can determine how to display or hide rows and columns in a grid report that consist only of null or zero metric values. You can have MicroStrategy hide the rows and columns in the following ways: Hide rows and columns that consist only of null metric values Hide rows and columns that consist only of zero metric values Hide rows and columns that consist only of null or zero metric values (default) Once you have defined how MicroStrategy hides null and zero metric values in the grid, you can quickly show or hide the grid using the Hide Nulls/Zeros option in the Data menu, as described below, or by clicking the  Hide Nulls/Zeros  icon  in the Data toolbar. To determine how null and zero metric values are displayed or hidden in a grid report Open the report in Edit mode. From the  Tools  menu, select  Report Options . The Report Options...

Partition Key Selection guidelines in MicroStrategy

Partition Key Selection guidelines MicroStrategy The partition attribute is typically dictated by specific application needs. Below are some general guidelines for identifying a good partition attribute. Some of the largest fact tables in the application are typically good candidates for partitioning and thus influence the choice of the partition attribute.  Data should be partitioned in such a way that it allows for the most number of partitions to be involved in any question that is asked of the application. Attributes that are frequently used for filtering or selections do not make for good partition attributes. The partition attribute should allow for near uniform distribution of data across the partitions, so that the workload on each partition is evenly distributed. To support best dashboard execution and concurrency performance, MicroStrategy has chosen to limit the number of logical CPUs engaged for any single grid evaluation to  4 . Columns on which some of the larger...

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...
