MicroStrategy ONE

Send Message statement

Sends a broadcast message to a single user or all users connected to a MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.

This statement can only be used with three-tier or four-tier project source names.

On Windows, this statement makes use of the MSG.EXE utility. This utility is not shipped with Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows Vista Home Premium, so this statement does not work on those versions of Windows Vista. The statement functions normally on Windows Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions, as well as Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Copy

  • MESSAGE "message" is the message to be sent to the connected user through the network, of type string.

  • USER "login_name" is the login name of the user connected to the Intelligence Server, of type string.

  • ALL USERS indicates that the message is to be sent to all users connected to the Intelligence Server.
