Column Level Security - Grand Total row

Hello All, I have a question about Column Level Security in a report where Grand Total is turned on. I am working inside of the OOTB Paint rpd and I am looking at the 'Finish Sales Trend for Current Year' report on the Brand Analysis dashboard page. Inside of the Admin Tool I added column level security on the Units presentation column in the Sales Measures table. I implemented security that will not allow the Central Region Manager group to view the Units column. When I access the report I noticed that the Grand Total row of the table is slightly skewed because the Units column is hidden. The Grand Total row is showing, however all the results are off by 1 cell.
The forum is not allowing me to attach pictures to this post.
Thanks for your help

Hi User,
It is an bug refer the metalink,
Bug.9576412 - GRAND TOTAL NOT WORKING WHEN COLUMN LEVEL SECURITY IS IMPLEMENTED
For eg:
consieder a report with following columns,
Year Product Measure1 Measure2
In this if for measure1 the column level security is enabled (user1 who is not supposed to see the data).
Then grand total value of measure2 will be in the grand total of measure1. (for user1)
When column level security is enabled, that column will be pushed to the end of the table view.
So that it is happening.
By using case statements with groups or users we can get it work without enabling the column level security.
Thanks,
Vino

Grand Total not displaying correctly on Column level security.

Hi All,
I have implemented the Column level security for three columns. But in dashboard report. The grand total is not displaying correctly. The grand total values are still displayed for the hidden columns.
Is there any work around for this.
The sample how my report looks like after column level security is.
ColumnA Metric1 Metric2 Metrics3(to be hidden)
A 100 200
B 150 100
GrandTotal 250 300 400( this includes the value of A = 300, B = 100).

Any pointers please.

Hide column result in pivot grand total row

Hello
Do you know if it is possible to hide the result of a particular column in a pivot grand total row?
I have several columns to which makes sense use a grand total row (as in a sum) but for others (such as average) it does not make sense in the light of the client business rules.
Any help on this matter is highly appreciated :)
Thanks in advance,
J Marques

I have a measure that represents the average time according to the dimensions it uses - and that works properly.
However, the grand total for that column shows me the average of the average times above. This is not correct that is why I want to hide it.As said by kishore, In pivot go to that time average time column -> Aggregation rule -> None, This won't affect the column avg value.
The grant total value will not come.
By setting this, are you getting wrong values?
Thanks,
Vino

Column Level Security Using VPD under oracle 11g

Hi
I am using an example from Oracle Database 10g: Advance Security -- Virtual Private Databases
1. The Application Context -- that sets the session environment for the use is ok.
2. The Logon Trigger that executes the above is ok. It had been tested.
3. The Security Policy that returns a predicate after checking the output of the Application Context is ok.
4. The security policy applied to the STOCK_TRX table is ok.
5. Select and Insert from the database work.
However, after dropping both the insert and select policy, I am having problem getting a select policy to work with column-level VPD. I will get the ORA-28104 -- input value for statement type is not valid and ORA-06512 at SYS.DBMS_RLS line 20. See code below
begin
DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY
('PRACTICE', 'STOCK_TRX', 'STOCK_TRX_SELECT_POLICY', 'PRACTICE', 'SECURITY_PACKAGE.STOCK_TRX_SELECT_SECURITY', 'PRICE');
end;
Note:
PRICE is the sec_relevant_cols
STOCK_TRX is the table
Can you please help.
Thx

The syntax for row level security is not the same for columns level security. All the parameters to the DBMS_RLS.ADD_Policy() function should be preceded by the type of the parameter for:
begin
DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICy(object_schema=>PRACTICE, ... sec_relevant_cols=>'PRICE);
end;
I did not know this before. I thought they were there in the example for explanatory reasons. I decided to answer the question for myself because I know others have the same interpretation.

Oracle Virtual Private Database (VPD), Column Level Security

Hello,
About Oracle Virtual Private Database (VPD), is it possible to set a Column Level Security without setting a Row Level Security (without using any predicate)?
Thanks,
Herve.

Thanks, Zoran.
A colleague shared with me a link containing a function without returning a predicate (in using SYS_CONTEXT function to skip row restriction).

Column level security

Hi,
While changing PROJECT_INACCESSIBLE_COLUMN_AS_NULL to YES in NQSConfig file to implement the column level security, we get an error saying 'A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46036] Internal Assertion: Condition m_CountFields == static_cast<int32>(m_ColumnNameVector.size()), file .\Src\SQCSCacheStorageListStream.cpp, line 221. (HY000)' while running the reports.
Can anyone help in resolving the same.
Thanks in Advance,
Durgeswari.

Don't confuse database user with application user, your
implement use specific security. You will create tables to keep
your application data dictionary. Then you can do anything you
want to. good luck.
tip Keep your application design simple as much as posible it
good for your life.

Will Performance degrade due to Column Level Security

Hi All,
I have report with 40 Columns, of which more than 20 columns are restricted to many users on the Dashboards.
This security is controlled by assigning permissions to those columns in RPD presentation Layer.
And setting the PROJECT_INACCESSIBLE_COLUMNS_AS_NULL to YES in NQSConfig.ini
Will the performance of reports degrade due to this type of design.
Is there any solid evidence?
Thanks
Kaushik

Hi,
I dont see any performance hinderance because of the column level security.
But remember in the pivot table you can still see the column without values. And its a bug. Would serve good for table views.
Hope this helped/ answered

Tab level and column level security

Hi
Can anyone suggest a high level view of implementing a tab level security based on the user logged on? I have a form that has multiple tabs and within each of these tabs there are multiple fields displayed (in a multi record block). Based on the user, the relevant canvas tabs should be enabled and only those fields within each of these tabs to which the user is authorized to view should be displayed. I am looking for an approach methodology that can be implemented dynamically. There could be another form to maintain the user, roles and accessibility options.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

When the form loads, capture the username (network login ID).
Based on this username, in you when-new-form-instance trigger or when timer expired trigger(you have to create a timer for this), set the property that certain tabs/fields must be enabled/disabled depending on the user.
Say, you have two groups of users, admins and non-admins..
when the form loads, capture the username
compare this username with the tabular data to determine if that user is an admin or non-admin (you can do this using a select query)..
and using when-no-data-found exception you may set the appropriate previleges using set_tab_property('tab_name',ENABLED,property_true) and hence forth
hope this helps

Using Session Variable in the Column Level Security

My Question -
1. I created an initialization block with initialization string by calling a new session variable CTP_ID_LIST in the sql command, given appropriate database connections and when I exit out of Block, and chosen Row-wise initialization. I do not see a new session variable created under variables list. Why does this happen? Please help me on this.

Hi,
This happens when you select Row-wise Initialization.
The row-wise initialization feature allows you to create session variables dynamically and set their values when a session begins. The names and values of the session variables reside in an external database that you access through a connection pool. The variables receive their values from the initialization string that you type in the Initialization Block dialog box.
You can also use the row-wise initialization feature to initialize a variable with a list of values. You can then use the SQL IN operator to test for values in a specified list.
Example: Using the table values in the previous example, you would type the following SQL statement for the initialization string:
select 'LIST_OF_USERS', USERID
from RW_SESSION_VARS
where NAME='STATUS' and VALUE='FULL-TIME'
This SQL statement populates the variable LIST_OF_USERS with a list, separated by colons, of the values JOHN and JANE; for example, JOHN:JANE. You can then use this variable in a filter, as shown in the following WHERE clause:
where TABLE.USER_NAME = valueof(NQ_SESSION.LIST_OF_USERS)
The variable LIST_OF_USERS contains a list of values, that is, one or more values. This logical WHERE clause expands into a physical IN clause, as shown in the following statement:
where TABLE.USER_NAME in ('JOHN', 'JANE')

Is'nt there any dimension in your analysis here .? I see only measures but what are you asking OBIEE to base its pie and slices on to show the Pie Graph?
Let us know.

Grand total level of the percentage column giving value from the first row of column

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement like to show the percentage value which the calculation of two columns , in the grand total level .
I think it can be achievaable by giving the aggregation rule for that column as Server complex Aggregate .
eg.
Fiscal Year Department subdepartment   Total cost     Sub Department cost     % cost
2011           Edu             Books                 500              50                               10
2011           Edu             Note Book           200            100                                50
2011           Edu             Furniture             300             30                                 10
2011            Edu                                      1000           180                              18
Grand Total
Ideally it should come like as above ..but the problem with me that ,it showing correct value for all the rows ,but at the grand total level it's taking the value of % cost from the first row . like below..
2011           Edu                                   1000                  180                         10
Grand Total
I have calculated the % cost column in the answer itself as (Sub Department cost /Total Cost )
where the
Aggregation rule for the columns given are
Total Cost - Sum ,Sub Dep Cost - Sum, % Cost - Server Complex Aggregate
So plz suggest me any Idea to achieve this ..Thanks in advance.

Give the agg. as avg for % field.
Best of Luck,
Kashi

Matrix row grand total, column grand total

matrix report layout in sql 2008

6             15
total                      9              17
16      grand total column 42
grand total row 42
How do I define the grand total cells to use column totals or row totals? Not just the sum of field in dataset?
Accounting wants justification that column totals add up to row totals.

Hi JimHoopsDSC,
Based on my understanding, you want to show grand total columns and grand total rows in the report.
For your requirement, you can create a matrix and add total for row groups and column groups. Then you can add an additional row and populate the total value. Please refer to screenshots below:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
