I am sure, the below Requirement of mine is not supported in either DI or DS.
But I would like to have this new requirement in Future Releases!!!
–> I have Job - Job_TEST. This Job should be made available for whoever wants it.
–> But my requiremnt is like no one should be able to see the design of the Job. They should be able to Run that Job from their Designer. But should not have access to see what is going on in the Design!!! Something like Password Protected Job for Design Change!!!
Or any workaround available to do this in current environment itself? I dont think so!!!
How about others? Anyone looking up for this kind of requirement?
That would certainly be good from protecting the intellectual property of work, but then it begs the question of who actually owns the IP? If a customer is paying good money to get DS work done, they’d most likely demand full access to the code.
I’d be very interested in this functionality as like yourself and probably most others on here, we also have smart work for loading something. We use a framework of functionality for standard things such as time dimensions, error handling, audit tables, water marking and the like which we use on all sites. It’s far faster for us (even on short-term projects) to install our framework and then develop using this. The problem we have is that when we finish the project, we don’t want to leave our framework lying around for general access.
Why don’t you just give them access to run the job via Webadmin and don’t give them Designer access?
Fundemental problem is going to be that if they have access to the repository they’ll be able to export/import the ATL and recreate the job to see the logic anyway. Maybe an additional layer of protection on the export command would be needed too?
Ganesh, please remember - we’re all volunteers here, even Werner. And of course Werner can only say so much, he is constrained by his relationship to his employer. He might even want to take a vacation now and then.
My point is, the statements above aren’t considered polite, and won’t help you get a quicker answer.
No problem, it is also a cultural thing. These kinds of statements are not meant to be insulting, actually, in India it is a common phrase, I believe. This happens if you translate from your mother tonge to english without translating the cultural context as well. And where should we outsiders learn the differences in culture other than spending some time in US?
Can somebody elaborate on this cultural difference a bit more from the perspective of an Indian, please?
