We have recently purchased CE 8.5 to run on a Solaris machine. I have a report that needs row level security and have read that processing extensions should be my answer. However, I have not found enough to get me started. If anyone could give me more information about getting started, please give me some tips.
If more info is needed.. I have a budget report and I only want certain users to see certain departments. Currently, I have a table set up in the database that uses the user's logon to decide what they can see. My users are complaining of having to sign on to the database each time so I would like to schedule the report and then have the table that checks what departments a user can see be in an external database and have a processing extension handle this. Everything I have read says this can be done but I cannot figure out at all how to get started. The white paper I read does not give me enough to go on. Thanks in advance for any help.
