Impact Analysis
Large BI projects often contain complex reports comprised of a number of objects. Such reports occasionally require changes, and these changes would need to be moved to production systems. Impact analysis is therefore crucial to manage risk that might arise due to any object migration. MicroStrategy Object Manager allows administrators to identify specific reports (or other objects) that are at risk due to a dependent object change. This feature is particular useful to design effective strategies to reduce risk associated with migration of the object change.
Project Merge Wizard Synchronizes Source and Destination
Many BI applications have periodic updates where changes made and tested in development need to be moved into production in bulk. MicroStrategy Object Manager contains the Project Merge Wizard, which allows administrators to set rules for moving objects through an XML file. The actual movement of the objects can be scheduled during off peak hours to minimize application downtime.
Update Packages
Changes of any magnitude to multiple objects can be bundled in standalone files to be installed whenever the user wishes. No live connection is needed between the environments, allowing the user to install the packages at any time, from any geographic location, and between environments in development, testing, or production mode.
Object Change Journal
Changes made to objects are tracked throughout the project to ease auditing requirements. Compliance matters such as Sarbanes-Oxley can be achieved by enabling the Object Change Journal and viewing information such as who made changes and when they made them.
