Post-installation steps
Semarchy xDM is now up and running. This page describes the post-installation and next recommended tasks for the Administrators and Project Managers.

Run the following scripts to grant to the repository read-only user select privileges on the profiling tables created in the repository schema.
/* Grant select privileges on the profiling tables */
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA <repository_user> TO <repository_readonly_user>;
GRANT SELECT ON TABLE
<repository_user>.PRF_PROFILING,
<repository_user>.PRF_TABLE,
<repository_user>.PRF_COLUMN,
<repository_user>.PRF_DIST_VALS,
<repository_user>.PRF_DIST_PATTERNS
TO <repository_readonly_user>;
