In cache monitor it shows several types of cache: XML Matching History Matching,History What do these mean? Also, when I click "Cleanup Invalid Caches" it does not seem to do anything. What is it supposed to do? 7.2.1

Thank you. Once I created the direct connect project source and updated my ODBC connection it worked fine. I'm running it right now.

I have ScanMD set up to look at MicroStrategy Tutorial and at my Production environment, but I want to configure it to work against my Development MD. I cannot see any button or menu to select that will let me add a connection to this database. I've tried right-clicking around but not in the...

Right, I see how this works. I set up a situation in Dev environment and observed the process. Will review with staff & DBA the most effective way to accomplish user needs. Thank you for you sticking with me until I got it.

Your description leads me to think that if I dropped in 20 or 30 jobs in a high/med/lo priority mix that they would execute in whatever order they were presented to the queue. I am thus somewhat at a loss as to what the "priority" of any report affects. The situation I am trying to...

This of course had no effect. I have my six test jobs on dev server so I switched priority of HIGH and LOW. Selected all, sent to history, them displayed active jobs. MED priority jobs were running, others had finished. (I had deleted history and cache both before this test.) Anyone have...

That setting is the same if I check Dev server or Prod server, but upon logging in the filters appear in Prod but are hidden in Dev. Problem is Web only, works as expected in Desktop mode.

Original poster's reply: I failed to make clear a key point: when web points to production server all filters are visible when creating a new report and I click "Edit Report Filter" button. All web users are able to use this when creating reports. But when I log on to development...

On development server I have a good copy of production. Using desktop everything works as expected. When I point Web to log on to this server and start to create a report I can see and select attributes and metrics but not filters. I can navigate down filter folder structures but the actual...

I have a set of filters from which to choose. I have a defined search that will pick certain categories of filters: a "White" and a "Green" and a "Yellow" search. I am trying to create a "White" prompt that will allow user to select one or more...

Does this Job Cost Priority system work as advertised in ver 7.2.1? I select project, then menu option Administration, select Prioritization. In wizard, check prioritization by cost and enter range values 0-400, 401-800, 801-999 for Light, Med Heavy assigned as Light=High Priority, Med=Medium...

Yes, kbase is gone. But on the brite side, here I am at Tek-Tips!

Attempting to install MicroStrategy Desktop 7.2.1 on Windows 2000 machine and get messagebox "Setup Initialization Error" text is "Setup has detected that unInstallShield is in use. Please close unInstallShield and restart setup. Error 432." Nothing else is running except...
