Strategy One

Retrieving Strategy Information

You can retrieve various information about the Strategy software, which is installed for the machine System Manager is running on, as part of a System Manager workflow. Each MicroStrategy property that you retrieve must be stored in a parameter for the workflow (see Using Parameters for Processes).

To perform this configuration, in System Manager, from the Connectors and processes pane, add the Retrieve Strategy Properties process to your workflow. The following information is required to retrieve information on the Strategy installation:

  • MicroStrategy Property: The information about the system that is retrieved. You can select from the following options:
    • Home Path: The path that acts as the home directory for the Strategy installation. This path includes Strategy configuration files that can be modified after a successful installation.
    • Common Path: The path that contains important files. The types of files included in this path varies depending on your operating system, but it can include files such as log files, SQL files, WAR files, JAR files, libraries, and more.
    • Build Version: The build version number of the Strategy software. This version number can be helpful when troubleshooting a MicroStrategy system and when working with Strategy Technical Support.
    • Release Version: The major release version of the Strategy software, such as 9.2.1.
  • Parameter: The System Manager parameter that is used to store the Strategy information that is retrieved.
  • Retrieve this additional property: Select this check box to retrieve additional information about the Strategy installation. For each of these check boxes that you select, an additional Strategy Property and Parameter pair is made available.
  • Notes: Information to describe this process as part of the workflow.
