Hi All,

I am currently struggling with the logical data model for my project. The relationships that I have created restrict me from fetching correct information. Could someone guide me to the basics of modelling a microstrategy project?

You need to have MicroStrategy account. Use your corporate (non-free) email address to create a one. Then you can access free tutorials. Strage even I had to input my credentials to access them, today. Probably they made this restricted (after reading that here).

Not sure, I tried to access recently and I could get in.

Yeah, those are the ones I’m talking about. Are they available for free?
I’m only asking because my account had access to them even before this free licensing happened, so I can’t tell if there was a change…

Asish, I’ll take your advise.

Sorin, are you talking about these tutorials? https://www.microstrategy.com/OnlineEducation/assignedsess.asp. After these tutorials, i will start with the Project Design Guide. Hope it’s the right direction. I could go for PEP, but can’t get so many days off from work. Som

True.
Unless highly motivated, most students that don't follow a trainer guided classroom will balk as soon as they reach the metric dimensionality chapter.

I definitely recommend the Online Tutorials over the PDF, but to my knowledge they charge a fortune for those. Has this changed, by any chance?
Purchasing a PEP (Perennial Education Program), allows you to attend all the classroom trainings you can digest during 12 months, additionally gaining you access to the Online Trainings. However, the price for this is also prohibitive if you are on you own...

I don’t think tough topics in MicroStrategy can be taught via remote desktop/webex kind of thing as trainer would need to monitor trainees and need to correct them while training; else MicroStrategy can not be learnt in class room, else you can always use the PDF manuals and Online tutorials to learn.

Readers, for MicroStrategy education @ Bangalore check out this link.

Ashish, I'm currenty too far from Hyderabad. I was thinking more like web training, somewhat like learnersparadise.com.

Sorin, Thanks.

I will start with the online tutorials and PDFs.

Thanks...Som.

@Anonymous: If you download the free license version of MicroStrategy you gain access to the MicroStrategy Tutorial environment and a handful of PDF files such as BasicReporting and AdvancedReporting. This should be enough to get you going for a while.
