Dave Wickert (MSFT) documented a known issue in 2003 where virtual cubes
would not provide correct access when used with dimension security unless
they were processed after processing physical cubes on which they were based.
Does this problem still exist. Is there any more information available on
this topic. If it is fixed, is the fix in an SP.

I have seen problems with virtual cubes this week that would suggest that
this problem can stil occur.

I made that observation post-SP3. It was supposed to be fixed in SP4.
I have had the opportunity to verify it.

Dave,

Interestingly we have just one server that moved up to SP4 recently to try
and deal with another "fixed" issue. This server is the only one (others on
SP3) that exhibits this behavior. Rather than fixing it it looks to have made
things worse.

I note in your original post you referred to a type of processing you called
processSecurity. Is this an undocumented option or a name given to one of the
usual options?
