Hi,
Has anyone used the SDK to export information from Microstrategy’s metadata repository? We have our own enterprise metadata center/repository, and we want to add the Microstrategy metadata (for reports…) to it as needed.

Thanks,
Greg

Thank you both for your comments!
Now that the connection is no longer a mystery, I’d like to find out how to handle multiple connections at the same time, the way Desktop does.
If any of you finds a way of doing this, please share it! I tried defining objSession as an array but it didn’t work.

Thanks Sorin. I'm learning SDK using your code to connect to Server. It is very helpful in as that's what someone would be looking for doing development using MicroStrategy (Server) SDK. I found more info from SDK documentaion. Hope it helps everyone. IDSSDataSourceEnumerator interface returns a collection of DSSDataSource handles upon request from DSS applications such as the MicroStrategy Desktop. DSSDataSource interface is used to support the client to connect to a server or to create a session to connect to a project DSSDataSource object is created for the client by the DSSSourceEnumerator object. IDSSSession interface provides a context that the client can get the required components and use the components.

Man, I wish I knew about this a month back. Would have saved me a lot of time. Spent many hours getting IS sdk setup with vb6. You did what mstr should have done. Great job!
