Database configuration information

Following you will find the minimal rights to be associated to the database users that are necessary to use the product. These include the rights to be allocated for:

• The ledger schema: i.e. igrc
• The workflow schema: i.e. activiti

You will also find included SQL scripts that are used by Radiant Logic Support Services and can be used as examples to create the databases on the different platforms.

Microsoft SQL Server

MS SQL Scripts

When creating the database using Microsoft the required minimal rights are:

• For the ledger database:

GRANT CREATE TABLE TO igrc_user ;
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO igrc_user ;
GRANT ALTER TO igrc_user ;
GRANT ALTER ON SCHEMA :: igrc_schema TO igrc_user ;
GRANT INSERT ON SCHEMA :: igrc_schema TO igrc_user ;
GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA :: igrc_schema TO igrc_user ;
GRANT DELETE ON SCHEMA :: igrc_schema TO igrc_user ;
GRANT REFERENCES ON SCHEMA :: igrc_schema TO igrc_user ;
GRANT UPDATE ON SCHEMA :: igrc_schema TO igrc_user ;

GRANT EXECUTE ON SCHEMA :: "<SCHEMA>" TO "<LOGIN>" ;

• For the workflow database:

GRANT CREATE TABLE TO activiti_user ;
GRANT ALTER ON SCHEMA :: activiti_schema TO activiti_user ;
GRANT REFERENCES ON SCHEMA :: activiti_schema TO activiti_user ;
GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA :: activiti_schema to activiti_user ;
GRANT UPDATE ON SCHEMA :: activiti_schema to activiti_user ;
GRANT INSERT ON SCHEMA :: activiti_schema to activiti_user ;
GRANT DELETE ON SCHEMA :: activiti_schema to activiti_user ;

As such, once the database is created and initialized it is possible to revoke the permission.

The following script allows you to create the ledger and workflow database.
Before using the script please remember to change the necessary information such as:

• The name of the database
• The path to Microsoft SQL Server data and log files
• The initial size, growth rate of the data and log files
• The names of the users (optional)

    GRANT DELETE ON SCHEMA :: activiti to activiti ;')

-- Multi-thread

GO

It is also possible to declare a Read-Only User. This user will only be able to read the ledger data from the studio, but will not be able to modify the data.
You will find following an example in the following script, using database demo2016:

USE [master]
CREATE LOGIN [<Login name>] WITH PASSWORD=N'<Password>', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[<Ledger database name>]
GO

USE [<Ledger database name>]
CREATE USER [<User name>] FOR LOGIN [<Login name>]
ALTER USER [<User name>] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[<schema name>]
ALTER ROLE [db_datareader] ADD MEMBER [<User name>]
GO

MS SQL GUI

Launch Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and connect to your MSSQL Server instance.

1. Create a new database
   1. In the Object Explorer, right click on the Databases folder and select New Database...
   2. In the General tab, set the Database name (for example igrc_sample_db) 3. In the Options tab, set the Recovery model to Simple 4. Close the dialog
2. Create a new user for the Ledger tables in the database
   1. In the Object Explorer, right click on the Security > Logins folder and select New Login...
   2. In the General tab, set the Login name (for example sample_user_ledger), set a Password (ideally a strong one that matches the policy), and select as the Default database the one created above (igrc_sample_db) 3. In the User Mapping tab, select the database created earlier (igrc_sample_db), and choose a default schema (igrc by default), and select the db_owner role 4. Close the dialog
3. Create a new user for the Workflow tables in the database (aka activiti)
   1. In the Object Explorer, right click on the Security > Logins folder and select New Login...
   2. In the General tab, set the Login name (for example sample_user_workflow), set a Password (ideally a strong one that matches the policy), and select as the Default database the one created above (igrc_sample_db) 3. In the User Mapping tab, select the database created earlier (igrc_sample_db), and choose a default schema (activiti by default), and select the db_owner role 4. Close the dialog

Oracle

Database creation

If the database was not created upon installation of the database engine please follow these steps to create the database. Run the program "Database configuration Assistant" in the oracle installation home folder of the launch menu.This will open a wizard :

1. Select the Create a database radio button and then click next

2. Select the Advanced configuration radio button and click next 3. Select the Custom database template and click next 4. Rename the database according to your context (in the followning example igrc) and uncheck the tickbox to Create as a container database. Then click next 5. Select the second radio button to define the database storage options and click next
6. Click next without selecting a Fast recovery option 7. If required create a new listener and click next 8. Keep all components selected by default and click next 9. The configuration options is used to specify the following elements. It is recommended to keep the default values if you are un certain on what parameters to use

1. The allocated memory (SAG, PGA)

2. The database sizing 3. The database character sets 4. the connection mode
5. The sample schemas, it is recommended not to install the sample schemas 10. In the management option, if desired you can configure by default the Enterprise Manager (EM) Database Express. We suggest using the default configuration 11. Then configure the Passwords of the SYS and SYSTEM user accounts. The same password can be used for both accounts using teh second option. It is highly recommended to use a secure password when configuring the database 12. Create the database with the default values 13. A summary is displayed. If satisfied with the configuration click finish. Once the installation is finish you can close the wizard

Oracle SQL Scripts

For oracle the minimal rights for the ledger and workflow users are identical. They are as following, assuming the user in igrc:

grant connect to igrc ;
grant create session to igrc ;
grant alter session to igrc ;
grant create table to igrc ;
grant create sequence igrc ;
grant create trigger to igrc ;
create view to igrc ;
grant unlimited tablespace to igrc ;

The following script allows you to create the ledger and workflow database.
Before using the script please remember to change the necessary information such as:

• The name of the user
• The path for oracles datafiles
• The size of the datafile
• The passwords

Oracle GUI

Before creating your Schema please download the latest version of SQL: https://www.oracle.com/database/sqldeveloper/technologies/download/

Once installed you can follow these steps :

1. Create a new connection profile using the system account to your database by providing the correct Hostname, port and SID

2. Create a new user/schema for both the ledger and the activiti user respectively by right clicking on the Other user element of connection profile

1. Configure the User Name and password as well as the Default Tablespace (USERS) and Temporary Tablespace (TEMP)

2. Configure the roles. The minimum requirements are CONNECT and RESOURCE 3. Configure the system privileges. The minimum requirements are : - create session - alter session - create table - create sequence - create trigger
- create view 4. Configure the quotas on the tablespace: 3. Click on apply to create the configured user

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL Scripts

In PostgreSQL a role such as igrc or activiti can connect to the database.
Implicitly the role has the right to create all objects in his own schema (view, tables, indexes, ...). The role is not a superuser and as a result has no administrative rights. The user cannot create databases and roles, he cannot modify the system catalog.

The following script allows you to create the ledger and workflow database.
Before using the script please remember to change the necessary information such as:

• The name of the user
• The path to the tablespace
• The passwords

-- WARNING: The directory specified must be an existing, empty directory owned by the PostgreSQL operating system user)
