To implement this data security, you run a script that creates a new view named
TICKET_SECURE_V
and then
re-create the other two views,
TICKET_ACTIVITY_V
and
TICKET_V
, so they point to the secured view rather than the
TICKETS
table directly. Then you make modifications to the other key components of the pages that access ticket data
to also use the new secure views. Here are the steps:
1.
Locate, upload, and run the script
ch9_data_security_script.sql
. Refer to Chapter 4 if
you need step-by-step instructions. You should see three rows in the results report, all of
which complete successfully.
2.
Once the script completes, run the application and navigate to the Analysis page. You
should notice that only t
ic
kets or ticket details that are assigned to the user you're logged
in as appear.
Next, make changes to the source of several other pages so they reference the new secure objects you just created:

Edit the
Tickets
report by double-clicking it.
5.
Locate and open the file
ch9_report_p200.txt
, and copy its contents into
Region Source
,
replacing everything that is there. Click
Apply Changes
.
6.
Run
Page 200
, and notice that you can only see the tickets that are assigned to the
current user.
You need to make a similar change on the Manage Multiple Tickets page:

Edit the

report by double-clicking it.

Locate and open the file
ch9_report_p230.txt
, and copy its contents into
Region Source
,
replacing everything that is there. Click
Apply Changes
.
10.
Run
Page 230
, and notice that you can only see the tickets that are assigned to the
current user.
Next, modify the Calendar report:
11.
Edit
Page 400
of the application.
12.
Right-click
Ticket Activity Calendar
, and click
Edit Calendar
.
13.
In the
Tasks
region on the right side of the page, click
Convert to SQL Based Calendar
.

shows the location of the link. Clicking the link generates a confirmation
message and remains on the same page.
