Automating Administrative Tasks with Command Manager

Strategy is retiring legacy administration tools in phases as capabilities move to Workstation, now available in the browser. December 2026 is last supported release for server legacy tools including, Developer, Command Manager, and Object Manager. For more information on legacy tool end of support, see Legacy Tools & Platform: End of Support Reference. For feature level details, see the Workstation vs Legacy Tools Feature Parity dashboard.

MicroStrategy Command Manager lets you perform various administrative and application development tasks by using text commands that can be saved as scripts. You can manage configuration settings in the Strategy platform for either project sources or Narrowcast Server metadatas. With Command Manager you can change multiple configuration settings all at once, without using the Developer or Narrowcast Administrator interface. You can also create scripts to be run at times when it would not be convenient for you to make the changes.

The Command Manager script engine uses a unique syntax that is similar to SQL and other such scripting languages. For a complete guide to the commands and statements used in Command Manager, see the Command Manager Help help.
