APPENDIX A
Statistics
A
Statistics are the record of historical information which MicroStrategy
Intelligence Server gathers about jobs and user connections. Statistics are
recorded for all report jobs executed through MicroStrategy Intelligence
Server, not just the report jobs that are currently available. Statistics
provide useful information for:
• tuning the whole system: In addition to improving MicroStrategy
Intelligence Server performance, you may want to improve the
performance of the overall system. Statistics can help you tune the
system by revealing query access patterns, what objects are most
frequently accessed, which queries take a long time to execute, and
which reports may need to be cached or scheduled.
• troubleshooting: Detailed information about the performance of the
system is key in identifying potential problems and solving existing
issues.
Statistics tables are stored in the statistics database. You create the tables
in the statistics database using the Configuration Wizard.
