System Manager overview
The role of MicroStrategy administrator isn't easy. There are lots of ongoing processes that should be monitored and if we have multiple environments with thousands of users then it becomes more challenging. MicroStrategy allows us to use System Manager that can atomize many processes. For example, we can build a workflow that will restart MicroStrategy Intelligence Server under specific circumstances and send us a notification. Another example is we can set thresholds and clean caches when needed. In other words, we can transform any manual process into a workflow using a user-friendly interface.
This is an example of a workflow:
This workflow executes its schedule when it is needed or when it is triggered.
There is a good presentation about using System Manager at https://www.microstrategy.com/Strategy/media/downloads/training-events/microstrategy-world/2014-vegas/MSTRWorld2014_T2_S7_Automating-Your-BI-Administration.pdf.
