History List Repository

PostgreSQL is certified as history list repository. The MicroStrategy ODBC driver for PostgreSQL wire protocol should be used as the gateway connector for history list repository.

A history list is a collection of pre-executed reports and documents that have been sent to a user’s personal history folder. These pre-executed reports and documents are called history list messages.

The history list repository is the location where all history list data is stored.

There are several different ways that the history list repository can be configured to store data for the history list. It can be stored in a database, or in a file on the Intelligence server machine. Alternately, you can use a hybrid approach that stores the message information in a database for improved search results and scalability, and the message results in a file for performance reasons.
