Login Project Source name Enter here the MicroStrategy Project Source name you are interested in connecting to.

A Project Source is a connection to a repository located on a local or remote Intelligence Server, which holds connectivity to a Data Warehouse, and contains a number of metadata Projects operating on this Data Warehouse.

The list of Project Sources accessible from this computer is stored in the Windows Registry.
If you wish to connect to a remote Intelligence Server that has not yet been registered on the local computer (a Project Source pointing to this Intelligence Server is not yet defined), please use the MicroStrategy software to create this Project Source beforehand.
STRING   MicroStrategy Tutorial (Direct) Mandatory
Login Project name Enter here the Project name you are interested in exporting to, for the chosen Project Source.

A project with this name will be created in the Intelligence Server designated by the Project Source option.
STRING   My new project Mandatory
Login user Enter here the user ID used to connect to the Project Source. STRING   Administrator Mandatory
Login password Enter here the password used to connect to the Project Source. PASSWORD      
Database Instance Name Please define a database Instance object pointing to your data warehouse before running this bridge.
