It is usually best to start from the cube level by selecting Cubes Select the desired access rights for each ID. The most useful security options at the Cube level are: None – this prevents the user from accessing this level of data Read – this allows the user to read information from the Cube Read with Drillthrough – this allows the user to read information from the cube and drill down to see underlying data in Standard Measures. When a user is granted read access to a Cube they get access rights to all measures and dimensions of that Cube by default. The following slides describe how to define user access at the measure and dimension level

OLAP (Cube) Security 4of 5– Dimension Level Permissions Pre-Installation Checklist Download Files Dynamics NAV Adapter Install Jet Data Manager Determine SQL Collation Execute Project – NAV SQL Set OLAP Security Connect from Excel Schedule Package Sample Reports / Resources Execute - AX Dynamics AX Adapter Execute - GP There are two ways of setting up user permissions on Dimensions in the Jet Data Manager: If the permissions are global, meaning they should apply to multiple cubes where the dimension is used, then select the Dimension below the list of 6 Cubes. Security options on Dimensions are: None – this prevents the user from seeing the data by this dimension Read - this allows the user to group or slice data by this dimension The permission for this dimension on each individual cube will default to ‘Inherited’. If the permissions are specific for a single cube, then select the Dimension for the appropriate cube. Security options on Dimensions are: Inherited– this inherits the security rights of this Dimension as defined on a Global basis. NoInheritance- does not inherit the security rights of the Dimension on a Global basis.

This can be set to Yes or No Security options on Measures are None – this prevents the user from accessing this data Inherited– this inherits the Cube level security rights When finished defining OLAP Server security rights select Deploy Rights and OK

  37. Scheduling an Automatic Execution Package 1 of 5 Pre-Installation Checklist Download Files Dynamics NAV Adapter Install Jet Data Manager Determine SQL Collation Execute Project – NAV SQL Set OLAP Security Connect from Excel Schedule Package Sample Reports / Resources Execute - AX Dynamics AX Adapter Execute - GP Your project can be scheduled to automatically update with the most recent information from your data source. This update will refresh the data in your Cubes, Data Warehouse and Staging Database. The update strategy outlined in these slides will have the entire project be refreshed every night. This is one of the simplest and the most common update strategy used. During the time that the Cubes are being refreshed they will not be available to the users. Prior to setting up an Execution package the first time you will need to start the Jet Data Manager Server Scheduler service. There are three steps to create an Execution package: Define Notifications - Notifications are a way to send an email to advise a whether the project has successfully executed on schedule. Define Execution Package– All or part of the project can be updated in a package. Sophisticated update strategies may include multiple Execution packages Schedule
  38. Scheduling an Automatic Execution Package 2 of 5 Starting the Jet Data Manager Scheduler Service Pre-Installation Checklist Download Files Dynamics NAV Adapter Install Jet Data Manager Determine SQL Collation Execute Project – NAV SQL Set OLAP Security Connect from Excel Schedule Package Sample Reports / Resources Execute - AX Dynamics AX Adapter Execute - GP During the installation process there is a service installed on the local machine that controls the execution packages. These execution packages handle the regular updates made to the data warehouse and the cubes. To configure the service, open the Services window for the server. This can generally be accessed through the Start menu by typing Services in the search bar and selecting Services from the list that is returned. Right click the Jet Data Manager Server Scheduler service and select “Properties”. On the General tab the Startup Type should be set to “Automatic (Delayed Start)”. If this is not available due to older versions of Windows Server then “Automatic” should be selected. Select the Log Ontab, click the button for This account, and enter a service account and password. Right click the Jet Data Manager Server Scheduler service and click Start. The service should start normally If you receive a message that the service started and then stopped the most common cause is that the JDM configuration files have not been created for service account that was specified to start the service. The solution is to log on to the server using this service account, open the Jet Data Manager, and point to the project repository when prompted. This will create the configuration files required by the service account. You can now log off and log back on as the original user. You should now be able to Right click the Jet Data Manager Server Scheduler service and click Start. The service should start normally properly start the service.

  46. Troubleshooting Errors in the NAV Adapter Setup Errors in the NAV Adapter Setup process are rare but can occur. The error will generally come in the form of a SQL error and will contain the name of the table that contains the error. Once this table has been identified the following steps will be taken to exclude it from the list of objects that is processed. In most cases it will relate to a custom NAV table that is linked to a SQL view. • Open the Object Designer in NAV and locate the table in which the issue occurred. For the purpose of this example we will assume that it is Table ID 25003 • Re-run the Adapter Setup form. In the last window you will have the ability to exclude this object • Click Ok and it will re-run the NAV Adapter process without processing this particular object • Repeat the process for any other objects that cause an error • Upon successful completion close the Adapter Setup window • The installation is now complete It is rare that an object will cause an issue and even more rare that this object will be required in reporting. If the object is pertinent please contact us at enterprisesupport@jetreports.comand we will be happy to assist Return
