What's new in next version of MicroStrategy 9.0 (Orion)

  1. Connect to two different warehouse in same report but Free form SQL report won't be having this feature.
  2. RS document not to lose derived metric or object prompt in the included report.
  3. Track object changes by user name, from which machine, IP address, etc. (change audit)
  4. Drilling in RS document. A new mode for RS document to accomplish this feature.
  5. Drill to multiple objects.
  6. ACL control in web but not so well as in desktop.
  7. Prompt and filter creation in web.
  8. In web, when drilled to a template, prompt in template will be executed. Currently, it happens only in Desktop.
  9. I-Server metadata and NCS metadata will be part of same database.
  10. Intelligent cube can be controlled by end user.
  11. On-fly custom group creation feature called Derived Element.
  12. **Monitor** cache, projects, cluster, jobs, user connection, and similarly. These users can't edit, modify or create.
  13. Rules creation "what to do" when History List is full.
  14. Explicit RS Document **caching** not just containing reports
