Section Access reduction with Binary Load

Hi, My situation is like this. I have a data extract document that runs on the client site and gets ftped into our local server which is binary loaded into the application qvw. Now i want to implement the Section Access Reduction in this application document. The original qvw doesn't have any section access.

BINARY a.qvw; //Loads the customer data extracted on their server.

SECTION ACCESS;

Directory;

LOAD ACCESS,

     NTNAME,

     XX

    FROM

Security\ControlSheet-POS.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

load * inline

[

XX, Domain

Domain1, Domain1

Domain2, Domain2

Domain3, Domain3

];

Now the excel file is something like this.

ACCESSNTNAMEXX
ADMINUser1Domain1

With this data, I login as User1 and expect to see only the data for Domain1, but I get to see all the data. Whatever I have done is not working. Domain is a column name in the original data model in a.qvw file.

Please help.

Thanks,

Ram

Hi treseco, Thanks for all your help. I have modified according to what you said. But it doesn't seem to work at all. Once I set this up with Strict exclusion, I get an access denied. I have attached the files without a Strict exclusion here. Please see what I do wrong.

Thanks,

Ram

Also can you please check your sample document that dealt with region using NTNAME rather than User/Password and see if that works?

Hi Ram,

Sorry, i could not check your file for obvious reason, NTNAME checks the windows id for authentication and there i fail to open your file. And yes, i checked with my domain/id information in the sample file and it worked fine to filter region. i would suggest you to try various options like, load the section access data INLINE(use all data in capitals) and test if it is working. Narrow down the issue area and finally you would be able to get it done.

I have managed to get it work now. Thanks for your help. I had done some silly mistake in the Section Application mapping.
