we are using latest 4.0 verison BO and aplanning to use external authorization. can you please tell me how can we configure that?

After some years from your post it’s very interesting yet. You said that you was working on more policies arount informatica, Oracle and SAP. I’m just doing the same.
Could you have some best practices defined around mappint between OLAP and BO Universe.

Thanks

Here is my fully working version. It has a couple of mods to the file writing code and file naming.

Hope it helps…
