Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss BRMS (BPMS)
    • 5.3.x
    • 6.x
  • Oracle Database
    • 11g R2

Issue

  • What privileges an Oracle schema owner should have before configuring BRMS/BPMS to use Oracle database?
  • Are there any recommendation on providing specific privileges to Oracle schema owner for Production installation of BRMS/BPMS?
  • I am seeing "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" when starting EAP.

Resolution

  • For Oracle database we recommend to grant at least following privileges, which is equivalent to Connect and Resource role, to a user configured for BRMS/BPMS(which inculdes jBPM5) which should generate all DB artifacts needed by BRMS/BPMS and jBPM5 in a test/stage environment.
    • CREATE SESSION
    • CREATE CLUSTER
    • CREATE INDEXTYPE
    • CREATE OPERATOR
    • CREATE PROCEDURE
    • CREATE SEQUENCE
    • CREATE TABLE
    • CREATE TRIGGER
    • CREATE TYPE
  • If you create a user using Enterprise Manager, CONNECT role will be granted to a user automatically. But please make sure to grant following privileges which is equivalent to Connect role.
    • CREATE SESSION
  • If roll up patch contains 'Alter' table/Sequence operation, please add appropriate permission for it
