Hai

I have CAR ,master file.
I have a fex file like : ONE.FEX
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT HTML
END


If i execuet one.fex file, it will return all the rows.
My requirement is, If i execute the fex file, i need to see the rows, for which country = FRANCE.

I don't want to limit in the fex file.
I want to put that limit in the master file.
Please let me know, how can i acheive the same.
Thanks

The implementation of Data Source Security in your master file could help...,
FILENAME=CAR,SUFFIX=FOC
...
END
DBA=MIKEL,$
USER=VISWA1, ACCESS=R, RESTRICT=VALUE, NAME=ORIGIN,
VALUE=COUNTRY EQ 'FRANCE', $
USER=VISWA2, ACCESS=R, RESTRICT=VALUE, NAME=ORIGIN,
VALUE=COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND', $
USER=VISWA3, ACCESS=R, RESTRICT=VALUE, NAME=ORIGIN,
VALUE=COUNTRY NE 'FRANCE', $

Anyway, using this method, you need add SET PASS=VISWA1 in your fex or profile (not in the report). Otherwise, you will get a security error.


SET PASS=VISWA1
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
END

Mikel

Let's say i have my report in MRE.
And i have a group called grep1. And all the users who are under that group (grp1), when they try to Query that CAR master file, they should be able to see only COUNTRY=FRANCE data.

How can we do this?
This is very urgent.Can someone throw some light on this.

Thanks

Using DBA security (see previous example) and creating a domain profile with generic SET PASS may be a good solution.

The 'MFD PROFILE' should do the trick. It's new to WebFOCUS 8x, maybe sooner.

I know this is an old thread. But, it came up in a search for something else that was significant. So, I added my Two Cents here for searching.

I will also add to this ancient thread - if you use the DBA security as shown in the answers here, you might consider SET PERMPASS in the profile instead of just SET PASS. That way a user cannot override it.
Also you will probably want to disable SQL PASSTHRU since that will bypass your DBA security rules.
