PH04744: DASHBOARD USING POWERCUBE PACKAGE DOES NOT PROMPT FOR CUBE PASSWORD

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When using a Powercube with a cube password, but no sign-on
  definition, the user is prompted to enter the cube password.
  This is the case for example for Analysis Studio, Powerplay
  Client and Report Studio.
  
  When same package is used in a dashboard, then the user is not
  prompted and receives the following error message:
  The metadata for '<cube name>' did not load. Please contact your
  administrator for details.
  
  Also the XQE log file protocols a corresponding error.
  

Local fix

• Define a sign-on for the cube password.
  Apply additional security to it or the data source to grant or
  deny access for users/ groups/ roles as per your needs.
  
  Or replace cube password and apply security definitions using
  custom views.
