MicroStrategy ONE

Saving and Loading a Test

When you have set up a test using the Integrity Manager Wizard, you can choose to save your settings to a file. This enables you to execute the same test at a later time without having to re-create the test. For example, a metric currently being developed is causing errors in several reports. You can execute a test on those reports to check whether the metric still causes execution errors. Saving the test settings makes it easy to run this test once the latest version of the metric is ready.

For security reasons, the passwords for the project logins (provided on the Enter Base Project Information page and Enter Target Project Information page) are not saved to the test file. You must re-enter these passwords when you load the test.

To Save Test Settings

  1. Step through the Integrity Manager Wizard and answer its questions. For detailed instructions, see Creating an Integrity Test.
  2. When you reach the Summary page of the Integrity Manager Wizard, click Save Test.
  3. Navigate to the desired folder and enter a file name to save the test as. By default this file will have an extension of .mtc.
  4. Click OK.

You can execute the test immediately by clicking Run. The Integrity Manager Wizard closes and Integrity Manager begins to execute the selected reports and documents. As they execute, their results appear in the Results Summary area of the Integrity Manager interface.

To Load a Previously Saved Test

  1. In Integrity Manager, from the File menu select Load Test.
  2. Navigate to the file containing your test information and open it.

    The default extension for integrity test files is .mtc.

  3. Step through the wizard and confirm the settings for the test.
  4. At the Enter Base Project Information page and Enter Target Project Information page, enter the password for the login used to access the base or target project.
  5. When you reach the Summary page, review the information presented there. When you are satisfied that the test settings shown are correct, click Run. The Integrity Manager wizard closes and Integrity Manager begins to execute the selected reports and documents. As they execute, their results appear in the Results Summary area of the Integrity Manager interface.
