=== MicroStrategy Desktop
|
|
|
|
You can use the {es} ODBC driver to access {es} data from MicroStrategy Desktop.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Elastic does not endorse, promote or provide support for this application; for native Elasticsearch integration in this product, please reach out to its vendor.
|
|
|
|
==== Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* https://www.microstrategy.com/us/get-started/desktop[MicroStrategy Desktop] 11 or higher
|
|
* {es-sql} <<sql-odbc, ODBC driver>>
|
|
* A preconfigured User or System DSN (see <<dsn-configuration,Configuration>> section on how to configure a DSN).
|
|
|
|
==== Data loading
|
|
|
|
To use the {odbc} to load data into MicroStrategy Desktop perform the following steps in sequence.
|
|
|
|
. Create a New Dossier
|
|
+
|
|
Once the application is launched, you'll first need to create a _New Dossier_:
|
|
+
|
|
[[apps_microstrat_newdossier]]
|
|
image:images/sql/odbc/apps_microstrat_newdossier.png[]
|
|
+
|
|
. New Data
|
|
+
|
|
To import into the _New Dossier_ just opened, press on the _New Data_ button in the _DATASETS_ column:
|
|
+
|
|
[[apps_microstrat_newdata]]
|
|
image:images/sql/odbc/apps_microstrat_newdata.png[]
|
|
+
|
|
. Access data from Tables
|
|
+
|
|
This opens a new window that allows to choose the source to load data from. Click on the _Databases_ icon:
|
|
+
|
|
[[apps_microstrat_databases]]
|
|
image:images/sql/odbc/apps_microstrat_databases.png[]
|
|
+
|
|
. New Data Source
|
|
+
|
|
In the newly opened _Import from Table - Select_ window, click on the *+* button to the right of _DATA SOURCES_ item:
|
|
+
|
|
[[apps_microstrat_newds]]
|
|
image:images/sql/odbc/apps_microstrat_newds.png[]
|
|
+
|
|
. Data Source
|
|
+
|
|
In the _Data Source_ window, tick the radio button for _DSN Data Sources_. In the _DSN_ drop-down box, choose the name of the DSN that you
|
|
have previously configured. For the _Version_, chose _Generic DBMS_.
|
|
+
|
|
Input a user name and password in the provided fields.
|
|
Note that the application requires them irrespective of the fact that they might already be part of the previously configured DSN and the
|
|
new input will take precedence over those.
|
|
+
|
|
Finally, give a name to the application-specific data source you're just configuring:
|
|
+
|
|
[[apps_microstrat_dsn]]
|
|
image:images/sql/odbc/apps_microstrat_dsn.png[]
|
|
+
|
|
. Select Import Options
|
|
+
|
|
Choosing an import methodology follows. You can pick any of the options; we'll exemplify the _Select Tables_ option:
|
|
+
|
|
[[apps_microstrat_tables]]
|
|
image:images/sql/odbc/apps_microstrat_tables.png[]
|
|
+
|
|
. Import from Table - Select
|
|
+
|
|
The data source you've named two steps before is now listed in the _DATA SOURCES_ column. Clicking on its name triggers the
|
|
application to query the {es} instance configured in the DSN and list the tables available within:
|
|
+
|
|
[[apps_microstrat_loadtable]]
|
|
image:images/sql/odbc/apps_microstrat_loadtable.png[]
|
|
+
|
|
. Data Access Mode
|
|
+
|
|
Choose a table to load data from and press the _Finish_ button. When doing so, the application offers to choose a loading methodology.
|
|
You can choose whichever, we'll exemplify the _Connect Live_ way:
|
|
+
|
|
[[apps_microstrat_live]]
|
|
image:images/sql/odbc/apps_microstrat_live.png[]
|
|
+
|
|
. Visualize the data
|
|
+
|
|
From the _DATASETS_ column you can choose what table columns (or index fields) to visualize:
|
|
+
|
|
[[apps_microstrat_visualize]]
|
|
