Tech Tip: Extract object definitions from MSTR

The challenge of project for me and most of us are documenting the Objects that we have Created/Modified. Documenting parallel when creating MSTR Objects slows us down. I had the same challenge in my last project, so I wrote this command Manager script to get the list of objects in a formatted way so that its easy for me to document. This script will display the Facts, Metrics, Attributes in a Project into a Project into a simple grid format. The same script can be easily extended for other objects like Filters/Prompts etc.

Copy the attached files to location

C:\Program Files\MicroStrategy\Command Manager\Outlines\Procedure_Outlines\User_Procedures

and then run this using command manager by passing the Project Name as the parameter.  Someone with Admin/Command Manager Access should able to do this.

This is written for MSTR V 9.2.1.
