{% connectorDetailsHeader name="MicroStrategy" stage="PROD" platform="OpenMetadata" availableFeatures=["Dashboards", "Charts", "Owners", "Datamodels", "Lineage"] unavailableFeatures=["Tags", "Projects"] / %}

In this section, we provide guides and references to use the MicroStrategy connector.

Configure and schedule MicroStrategy metadata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

• Requirements
• Metadata Ingestion

{% partial file="/v1.7/connectors/external-ingestion-deployment.md" /%}

Requirements

To integrate MicroStrategy, ensure you are using OpenMetadata version 1.2.x or higher.

Python Requirements

{% partial file="/v1.7/connectors/python-requirements.md" /%}

To run the MicroStrategy ingestion, you will need to install:

pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[microstrategy]"

Metadata Ingestion

All connectors are defined as JSON Schemas. Here you can find the structure to create a connection to MicroStrategy.

In order to create and run a Metadata Ingestion workflow, we will follow the steps to create a YAML configuration able to connect to the source, process the Entities if needed, and reach the OpenMetadata server.

The workflow is modeled around the following JSON Schema

1. Define the YAML Config

This is a sample config for MicroStrategy:

{% codePreview %}

{% codeInfoContainer %}

Source Configuration - Service Connection

{% codeInfo srNumber=1 %}

• Username: Username to connect to MicroStrategy, e.g., user@organization.com. This user should have access to relevant dashboards and charts in MicroStrategy to fetch the metadata.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=2 %}

• Password: Password of the user account to connect with MicroStrategy.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=3 %}

• Host Port: This parameter specifies the host of the MicroStrategy instance. This should be specified as a URI string in the format http://hostname or https://hostname.

For example, you might set it to https://demo.microstrategy.com.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=4 %}

• Project Name: The name of the project within MicroStrategy that OpenMetadata will connect to, linking to the relevant dashboards and reports for metadata retrieval.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=5 %}

• Login Mode: Login Mode for Microstrategy's REST API connection. You can authenticate with one of the following authentication modes: Standard (1), Anonymous (8). Default will be Standard (1). If you're using demo account for Microstrategy, it will be needed to authenticate through loginMode 8.
