SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the complexity of scoping a migration from MicroStrategy to Sigma by automating the inventory and readiness assessment of legacy BI assets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Inventory: Scans projects to count reports, documents, and dossiers while identifying datasource types.
  • Converter-Coverage Scoring: Analyzes dossier complexity and visualization types against actual Sigma converter capabilities to flag migration-ready assets.
  • Use Case: Use this tool to generate a migration-readiness readout for a customer, identifying which dossiers can be migrated immediately and which require manual review due to complex panel stacks or custom visualizations.

Quick Start

Run the assessment script by providing your MicroStrategy base URL and credentials to generate a migration inventory and markdown readout in your local directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about microstrategy-assessment

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a MicroStrategy environment for BI migration readiness?

To audit MicroStrategy migration readiness, you survey environments via REST API to produce an inventory of reports, documents, and dossiers alongside a visualization-type histogram. This identifies dashboard sprawl and prioritizes conversion tasks for migration planning.

What is the best way to scope a migration from MicroStrategy to Sigma?

The best way to scope a MicroStrategy to Sigma migration is to automate the inventory of legacy BI assets and score dossier complexity against converter capabilities. This flags migration-ready assets and identifies those requiring manual review for custom visualizations or complex panel stacks.

How do I identify which MicroStrategy dossiers can be migrated automatically?

You identify automatically migratable MicroStrategy dossiers by analyzing their visualization types and complexity against actual Sigma converter capabilities. This read-only analysis flags migration-ready assets and isolates those requiring manual review due to complex panel stacks.

Do I need Python to run a MicroStrategy inventory assessment?

Yes, you need Python 3 to execute the assessment scripts that survey MicroStrategy environments. A valid MicroStrategy session is also required to perform read-only analysis of project definitions and object structures via the REST API.

What does a MicroStrategy migration readiness readout include?

A MicroStrategy migration readiness readout includes a complete inventory of reports, documents, and dossiers, identifies datasource types, and provides a visualization-type histogram. It generates a markdown readout locally to guide dashboard conversion task prioritization.

Can I assess MicroStrategy dashboard sprawl without modifying the production environment?

Yes, you can assess dashboard sprawl without modifications by performing read-only analysis of project definitions and object structures via the MicroStrategy REST API. This requires a valid session but ensures the production environment remains completely untouched.
