binary load with hidden security code

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:43:54 GMT

Hi all,

Can we use binary load with hidden security?

I am using binary load to get data and it worked fine before I implemented hidden security.

It now shows an error and I believe we are not allow to have hidden codes when we binary load?

Is there solution to this problem?

Thanks !

Ryan

The security codes are implemented using Section access.

If you check prohibit binary load in your original qvw then you just have to add a new section access in your application. Soi I don't really see where is the problem ?

First of all, my business requirement is to divide the original qvw into two files; datamodel qvw and front-end binary.qvw.

In addition, a binary file will be distributed to users and they can only see certain data according to section access and does not have access to back-end scripts. Thus, security code is hidden in binary file and admin or developers only can modify and manage datamodel files.

My problem is when I binary load from the binary file it creates an error message

"Unknown statement Binary datamodel.qvw "

And if I remove hidden codes, it works fine. So I need to find a way to binary load with hidden security codes.

Hi,
the binary statement must be the very first statement in the script and cannot be preceded by any other statement, incl a hidden security-script. But it is possible to run the binary in the hidden script followed by section-access.
The application reading will inherit exactly the same security-settings as the original one, thus further restrictions can apply only on top of the previously read ones.
