Migrate an Existing Custom Visualization

You can migrate your existing custom visualizations, created in MicroStrategy Visualization Builder, so they can be used with the Custom Visualization Tool.

  1. Create a directory to store your migrated custom visualizations.
  2. Within this directory run the following command, where you specify the path of the custom visualization you want to migrate. In this example, we use C:\Users\alan\mstrVis\D3WordCloud as the path to the existing custom visualization.

    Copy
    mstr-viz migrate C:\Users\alan\mstrVis\D3WordCloud
  3. Open the folder that contains the newly migrated custom visualization in your text editor.
  4. Notice that the structure of this folder is similar to the visualizations created in the Custom Visualization Tool.

    Some differences to note:

    • All of your source code appears in the src folder
    • Your .css files have been converted to vis.scss
    • Any i18n files have been relocated from WEB-INF/classes/resources into an i18n folder.
  5. Now you can develop and build your source content as a new visualization.
