Bursting is a feature in MicroStrategy Distribution Services 9.3 that generates page-by slices and stores results to separate files via subscriptions

Reports and Report Services Documents can use the bursting feature if they are using page-by view filters, and files produced with bursting can use macros to generate unique, individual file names.

  1. Choose a suitable Report or Report Services Document and create a new subscription
  2. Under the “File” heading, select “Add file subscription”
  3. Directly under “File Name” click the button labeled “Burst…”

4.The selector boxes will show the Page-By attributes in the left box.  Move attribute from the “Available” box to the “Selected” box to burst according to those attributes.  Selected Attributes will show in the bar above the selector

 

5. The file name can be defined in the File Name blank using the following shortcuts:

  • Bursting Attribute: {[Attribute Name]@[Attribute Form]}
  • Date: %%Date%% or {&Date}
  • Time: %%Time%% or {&Time}
  • Recipient Name: %%RecipientName%% or {&RecipientName}
  • User Login: {&UserLogin}
  • Subscription Name: {&Subscription}
  • Project Name: {&Project}
  • Prompt N: {&Prompt#&}
  • Content Name: {&ContentName}
  • Content Details: {&ContentDetails}

6. After filling in the remaining required File Subscription options, click OK to accept these options
