How does MicroStrategy 9 ease object migrations?
Migrating object changes is the biggest challenge facing administrators as typically a live connection to the source as well as the destination is necessary. Using MicroStrategy Object Manager, developers and architects can bundle object changes into packages, which are stand-alone files. Packages are like any other files and can be transported via email or shared with others. To migrate changes, the administrator would typically create a package (file) at the source and transfer it to the destination and simply apply it. Packages, therefore, eliminate the need to have a live connection to the source. Additionally, instructions to migrate any dependent objects can be bundled into the package thereby reducing the need to provide detailed instructions to administrators. With the elimination of a connection to the live source, the source project is not locked reducing source project downtime.
