Académique Documents
Professionnel Documents
Culture Documents
subscriptions are tied to the Object IDs, as well as any dependents that use
the object youre copy/replacing.
Ive tested this primarily with Reports/Documents, but it also works with all
other types of objects with the exception of Prompts.
1. Hey Bryan, this is a trick we keep using while development all the time.
But it does not work on prompts. MicroStrategy does not let you save as a
prompt.. The editor does not have any option of doing that..
I guess it does make sense to not allow save as, because different prompt types
are used in different places, and if one would, if available, try to do a save as an
object prompt on an element prompt, things would be messed up!

Thanks for the tip! Youre right, it looks like the Prompt interface is slightly
different and doesnt let you save an existing object over an older one. However,
you can create a new prompt and the first time you save it, the trick does still
work, though thats definitely less useful.

Yes, you can create a new prompt and achieve the same.
It wont let you change the prompt type altogether though.. I guess it wont let you
save an Element prompt on top of an object prompt.. (Besides I know thats kind
of foolish!)

Bryan,
I applied prompt on my report and when i run the report and checked its SQL its
not making any join with Currency Code. but when i use filter instead of prompt
its works fine. Whats the problem behind it why prompt is not making join with
Currency Code.

Hi Bryan/all,
Does this trick work for a logical table?
Thanks,

Is there any way we can extract all the object properties such as version id,
object ID, name, column, table name into excel sheet
