Get MicroStrategy source information

Before you configure the catalog source, ask the MicroStrategy administrator for values of connection properties that you need to configure the catalog source.

Note: You don't need to create a connection object for MicroStrategy. You provide this information when you configure the catalog source.

The following table describes the properties that you need:

Property	Description
Version	The version of the MicroStrategy software that you have installed. If you don't know the version, select the autodetect option.
Project Source	The name of the MicroStrategy project source to connect to. Project sources represent a connection to a metadata database or a MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.
Login user	The user name of the user that connects to the project source.
Login password	The password to connect to the project source.
