Assigning database dynamically reportwise to users in Universe

Question

Hi,
   In our single SQL Server, we have different databases having same schema but different data in it.
   Each individual user is having its own database in this SQL Server.
   Now, what we are trying to implement using Business Objects XI 3.0 is that each time the different different users loggs into the universe, so depending upon the username/loginname can we dynamically assign database to respective user ?
    The purpose behind implementing this is once the user looggs in and request to execute report then only data related to him i.e from his database  will come
for example if we have sqlserver  abc
it is having suppose three database a,b,c in it  all having the similar schema but data is different and now there are three users -user1,user2,user3 are attached to the database a,b,c respectively
and we have single universe for each user....
Now we want that if user1 logs in then database connection that is passed to the universe will be a

Hi Erik,
The PDB has built-in functionality to assign users to roles, so you actually do not need the backround action for user assignments.
What you need to do in the PDB is:
- Integrate a "normal" block - e.g. a sequential block in it that holds the display order details actions.
- In this block, for the role Processor of Action3 you must set the indicator Filled from Context Parameter, and select the input parameter, which will be mapped to the user ID from the first action.
- The output parameters of the first action must be in a structure exactly the same as the multiline input structure in the PDB, so that you can map the two structures.
The expected behaviour is that for each user ID a separate instance of the action in the PDB is created at runtime.
You can also have a look at the following <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/68/6182410349213ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">documentation</a> (follow the link for Parallel Dynamic).
Hope this helps.
