1. What is MicroStrategy Object Manager?

MicroStrategy Object Manager is a consolidated interface that allows for the central management of users and their object libraries across many business intelligence applications and environments.

2. What does MicroStrategy Object Manager allow administrators to do?

MicroStrategy Object Manager makes it easy to migrate specific objects or entire projects from a development environment to separate test and production systems providing full life cycle project management for business intelligence systems.

3. What are the benefits of using MicroStrategy Object Manager?

MicroStrategy Object Manager ensures that the definition of business model objects across development, test, and production systems is kept consistent and that the impact of changes to these definitions can be communicated to the user community. MicroStrategy Object Manager, therefore, provides a holistic view of the object lifecycle from creation to deployment.

4. How long does it take to learn MicroStrategy Object Manager?

MicroStrategy Object Manager preserves the look and feel of popular desktop software such as Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office. As such, users are immediately comfortable with MicroStrategy Object Manager.

5. How easy is it to copy objects from one project to another?

MicroStrategy Object Manager can open connections to and display multiple projects simultaneously. A simple drag-and-drop interface copies a specific object, and any necessary dependents, from one project to another. Multiple object changes can be bundled into Packages simplifying the transfer process. With Project Merge, entire projects can be migrated to different environments with all their object definitions and dependencies intact.

6. What happens if a chosen object already exists in the target project?

MicroStrategy Object Manager opens a conflict resolution dialog that prompts you whether to create a new object, overwrite the existing object, or use the existing object.

7. How do I perform impact analysis?

MicroStrategy Object Manager can display all dependent parent and child objects of any chosen report object. This makes it very easy to see which reports will be affected if there is a change to a metric calculation.

8. Can I deploy changes to distributed metadata?

Yes. By using Packages you can bundle object changes and send them to any geographic or time zone for installation. Packages do not require a connection to the source, so they can be installed at the most opportune time for both the users and the environment.

9. How do I manage multiple applications?

You can manage all your applications through MicroStrategy Object Manager’s single interface. MicroStrategy Object Manager can many connections open at any instance and can connect multiple sources.

10. How do I track changes on my objects?

You can enable the Change Journaling option, which is going to keep track of any changes a user makes to the objects. The user’s ID and the time they changed the object is logged automatically to help with auditing and governance situations.

11. How can MicroStrategy Object Manager help me translate my project into different languages?

The Internationalization option translates projects into different languages through one of our languages or 3rd party software. The Repository Translation Wizard will help you extract your objects to a translation database and then ensure that the objects are imported back to the appropriate project.
