Invalid object name 'information_schema.sequences' in BRMS / BPM Suite

Issue

• When we started BRMS 5.3.1 server with or without custom applications wars it throws the following exception:

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Invalid object name 'information_schema.system_sequences'.

• When I build a project in BPM Suite 6, I get the following error:

08:43:57,317 WARN  [org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper] (EJB default - 8) SQL Error: 208, SQLState: S0002
