Business Areas, Folders and Work Books

Question

Hi,
We have approximately 20 business areas and around 200 workbooks. We are trying to reduce business areas. We are creating 4 new business areas ,under which I want to import all 20 business areas into 4 new business areas. So I am coying all folders under 20 business areas into 4 new business areas.
I am unable to do the same with workbooks. Now ,when we are trying to open the workbooks, we are having issue in opeing the workbook as workbooks are referring old business area folders. I want to opne the work books refering folders with in the new busiess areas.
Is there any way to do this other than creating workbook again?
Thanks.

Hi,
D4O do not uses any business are as it is used for OLAP reporting. You cannot have an option/prompt to user to select a particular analytic workspace.
If you grant access on AW$<AW Name> object to the user then the user can see everything inside that workspace. If you want the user to see both the workspace then you should grant the select privilege to both AWs.
Suppose the two workspaces are in two diferent schemas i.e. schema1 and schema2 having AW1 and AW2 as the workspace respectively. If you want to grant access to both the above workspaces to user say user1, then you should grant privilege like this
grant select on schema1.aw$AW1 to user1;
grant select on schema2.aw$AW2 to user1;
The above grants ensure that the user1 can see all the cubes in both the workspace. Ensure that the user1 should have D4OPUB and OLAP_USER role granted.
