MicroStrategy Enterprise Manager
MicroStrategy Enterprise Manager is a comprehensive tool designed to measure the success of MicroStrategy implementations.
Enterprise Manager consists of a MicroStrategy project that reports on MicroStrategy operational statistics. It includes a packaged statistics repository, a data load process that transforms the platform statistics to the repository, and the project metadata. The Enterprise Manager project contains about 128 attributes, hundreds of metrics, and nearly 400 reports. A comprehensive data dictionary can be used as the basis for creating customized analytics to meet administrative reporting requirements.
Enterprise Manager is structured into four areas of analysis.
- User Analysis
Project managers can determine user adoption as well as their behavior on the system. Reports focused on user analysis provide details on which users employ custom functionality such as drilling and ad-hoc reports, as well as which reports are preferred by certain users or user groups.
-
Project Analysis
Project managers can obtain a detailed understanding of their projects. Reports focused on project analysis list how many reports, documents, and other objects currently exist in projects. Analysis of these objects can determine which objects are used regularly, and which users are actively contributing to the project.
- Operational Analysis
- Performance Analysis
Developers gain tuning insights to improve project performance. Enterprise Manager provides detailed level tuning data for individual reports, Intelligent Cubes, scheduled operations, and all other parts of the MicroStrategy platform.
System administrators gain an understanding of the operational behavior of the BI system. Reports focused on operational analysis identify error conditions, manage peak usage times by ensuring availability of sufficient system resources, and determine whether your resources are used effectively. Dashboards display growth rates and predict required upgrades.
You can learn more about Enterprise Manager in the following documentation resources:
- : Instructions on using Enterprise Manager to create reports and dashboards for MicroStrategy software usage.
- : A complete list of all the database tables and object definitions used in the Enterprise Manager project.
You can create, edit, execute or delete Data Load for Enterprise Manager through Command Manager script.
