Additional Information

Workaround :
The following steps are recommended to alleviate the issue.

    When using a read-only user for Oracle, the schema must be specified. 
    Create a text file in the analytics backend folder (next to the analytics-backend.jar) 
 

    Example: ae_schema.sql with the following content: 

    ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA=uc4 
 

    This will set the schema to "uc4" while still using the configured db username and password. 

    Enable the following setting in the application.properties: datasource.ae.schema=file:ae_schema.sql.
