BI 7 Upgrade - Problem with Authorisation Variable on Compounded Char

[former_member204618]

Dear All,

We have just upgraded our DEV environment from 3.5 to BI7 and have encountered a weird problem with 1 of our authorization variables.

Our authorization check variable checks the values from a table that the users are allowed to use (which includes the selection screen). There are 2 variables 1 for the uncompounded char and 1 for the compounded char, the uncompounded variable is working just fine but not the other. When the user tries to pick a value, they are presented with not just their restricted list but ALL the values.

Can anyone explain this? Has BI 7 changes the way authorizations work with Compounded Characteristics ?

Before anyone asks, these variables work just fine on 3.5 and are working just fine in our QA and PRD environments.

Help required urgently.

Thanks

Craig

Hi,

Yes authorisations in BI 7.0 are a bit different from the ones in BW 3.5. Here is the link which will help you know every thing in BI 7.0
