ASO and BSO Transparent partition

Question

Hi
I have couple of questions regarding transparent partition, please help me out,
1) I have two ASO cubes and one empty BSO cube, do I need to run security (apply filters) on both ASO and BSO cubes?
2) How should I give access to users? For example: what should I write as "..."identified by" ....
TO 'VZB_ISu'.'VB_IS' AT "localhost"
AS "....." IDENTIFIED BY "....."
AREA '"2006","2005",@IDESC("Month"),@IDESC("Scenario"),@IDESC("Measure_Type"),@IDESC("Measures"),@IDESC("Accounts"),@IDESC("RegionCompany"),@IDESC("Company"),@IDESC("RegionOrganization"),@IDESC("Organization"),@IDESC("Affiliate"),@IDESC("Product"),@IDESC("Ledger_Code"),@IDESC("Region"),@IDESC("Country")';
3) Are their specific ways to tune an empty BSO cube transparently linked to ASO cube? BSO cube has no data.
Thank you

Hi,
1) You only need to set security on the BSO db (I'm assuming the users will not be connecting directly to the ASO db). When you setup your partition you define what user will be used to login to the ASO database. When ever an end-user retrieves data over the partition it's the partition user that logs into the ASO database to retrieve the data. You only need to make sure that the user defined in the partition has sufficient rights to retrieve that data.
2) You can either use EAS to create the filter or MaxL...this is the example for create/replace filter: create filter sample.basic.filt1 read on 'Jan, sales', no_access on '@CHILDREN(Qtr2)';
3) Try an avoid too many dynamic calcs in the target. These will obviously affect the retrieval times.
