Hi Balaji
SQL and MDX Editor functionality is available in Visual Composer in the following ways:
● On the BI → SQL Editor and BI → MDX Editor menus.
● In the workspace, from the context menu of a relational or OLAP query from a data
service defined using one of the BI Java Connectors mentioned above.
● In the MDX Statement and SQL Statement fields on the input ports of corresponding
data services, which allow you to send query statements to the databases.
For security purposes, the SQL and MDX Editor functionality is turned off by default in Visual
Composer. Therefore, if you try to access it, the following message is displayed: You are not
authorized to use this functionality.
To enable SQL and MDX Editor functionality, use the following parameters in the Visual
Administrator:
● vc.bi.sqlEditorEnabled - SQL Editor and SQL Statement from input port are visible
● vc.bi.mdxEditorEnabled - MDX Editor and MDX Statement from input port are visible
Change document logging is not available with the SQL or MDX Editors; only
database logging (SQL Editor) or OLAP server logging (MDX Editor) is
available.
Warning:
Significant caution should be taken when using the SQL and MDX Editor
functionality, to avoid the potential for corrupting data and to prevent users from
viewing data that they are not authorized to see.
To prevent potential security risks, we urge the database administrator to restrict
user authorization on any data source defined on the portal using the BI JDBC
Connector, BI ODBO Connector, or BI XMLA Connector. We recommend that
you set the proper authorizations for your users on the database level, and that
you use dialog users (individual database user names) for user mapping on the
portal.
Note that if you enable this functionality and save models that expose SQL and
MDX statement fields on the input ports of data services, these fields, and hence
the potential security risks, will persist in the models even if you later disable this
functionality. In addition, the fields persist in models that you export and import
into a Visual Composer system in which the functionality is disabled. We therefore
recommend you carefully consider security risks before enabling this functionality.
