MicroStrategy Object Manager allows administrators to manage disparate and distributed environments for change management, versioning and internationalization from a single, intuitive interface. MicroStrategy Object Manager gives administrators a holistic view of an object’s lifecycle as it gets migrated from a development environment to a production environment.
Whether objects are migrated from a testing environment to a production environment or the entire system is upgraded, MicroStrategy Object Manager ensures that object definitions are kept consistent and accurate across all environments. It provides full object lifecycle management from development and testing, to production and even deployment to users of multiple countries and languages.
Features At A Glance
- Extracts object definitions from metadata into a package file that can be shared across email or regular network, for migration
- Synchronizes different projects in disparate environments
- Manages multiple BI applications from one interface
- Manages comprehensive application and schema objects
- Repository Translation Wizard allows administrators to internationalize entire projects in bulk
- Impact Analysis allows administrators to identify objects at risk that might be affected by the change
Benefits At A Glance
- Administrators can manage a distributed development environment from a single machine – local or remote.
- Holistic view of the object lifecycle reduces maintenance effort
- Project auditing can be carried out without any application downtime increasing user efficiency
- Intuitive interface allows any type of user to quickly understand the mechanics of migration
- No development project downtime during migration
- Object change journal eliminates the need to maintain an external Excel or Word document for change tracking
- Impact Analysis reduces risk
Product Highlights
Update Packages to Support Distributed Development
MicroStrategy Object Manager can bundle object changes from a source into independent package files for easier and faster transfer to test and production environments. Packages can be transferred anywhere via email, enabling the distribution of metadata over multiple geographic and time zones. Update Packages can be then imported either manually or through an automated process thereby migrating change into a destination projects.
Centralized Management Capabilities for All BI Application Objects
MicroStrategy Object Manager helps administrators coordinate and automate all issues related to change management in BI projects from one interface, from anywhere in the world. Objects and projects can be easily migrated to any metadata within the network while ensuring the integrity of their definitions.
Project Merge Ensures Consistency
Often, BI applications fall out of sync when different developers work on multiple reports. MicroStrategy Object Manager ensures that each object is successfully migrated from one environment to another by using Project Merge. Project Merge will migrate the entire project to the desired destination while retaining the definitions and dependencies of each object. Therefore, this method eliminates lengthy testing and dependency checks that otherwise might be required. Repeated Project Merges can be scheduled and automated by rules that are saved in XML files, requiring less oversight.
Project Comparison
Project Comparison makes monitoring the integrity of objects easy. Project Comparison is especially useful to identify differences between different versions of your applications.
Support for Internationalization
For projects that include Internationalization, the Repository Translation Wizard allows administrators to translate the entire repository in bulk. With the Repository Translation Wizard, object definitions from the metadata can be extracted into a third party database and translated externally. The translated object definitions can be imported back into the repository.
