Hi All,
Here is one of the coolest features in MicroStrategy 9.5.0 in Integrity Manager(IM). We all know that Integrity Manager is a automated report testing tool provided by MicroStrategy. And with this tool we can compare MicroStrategy reports between projects from one environment to another or withing the same environment.
Basically until 9.4.1 IM had support only to match reports either by report's Object ID or by its Path. So the reports would not be matched until they have the same Object ID or in the same path between the projects.
But now from 9.5.0 onwards there is a new feature to manually match reports between projects. Here is how we can do it... Lets check it out!
First create a report in the source project...
Then create the same report in the other duplicated project in the same project source...
Now lets create an Project Vs Project IM test between these two reports with different object ID and path
Select the source project report
Click on the advanced options to select the manually match option...
Select the target project manually to select the matching report in the target project
Thats it!!! Run the the test to check the results...
If you see the above test results page... The SQL, Data and Graph's match and the Excel and the PDF's does not match. But its just because the report names match!
So this is how we compare the reports between the projects with different report object ID and different path! Really a cool feature isn't it!
