BO XI 3.0 Universe Designer Access Restrictions Issue

[Former Member]

I have a requirement to set the oracle connection based on the user's group. I have several similar databases which all can use the same universe but user should only connect to the one he has rights to.

In the Universe Designer I have set a new Access Restriction for a group of users. This defines the connection for this group's database.

Then when a user from this group refreshes a report it gives an error:

A database error occurred. The database error text is: (CS) "Bad Connect String Format : DATABASE". (WIS 10901)

When the restriction is removed everything works ok. We have the BOXI server in Solaris.

Thanks for any ideas, Timo

Hi Timo,

Could you please try the following at the customer's end by creating a new connection on the server box. After creating a new connection the end user was able to access the database using Universe Designer.
