To extract metadata from a PowerCenter repository, the login user that you specify in the resource connection properties must be the PowerCenter repository database user.
The PowerCenter repository database user account requires the following permissions on the PowerCenter repository database:
Select table
Select view
Create view
After you upgrade Metadata Manager, you need the create view permission on the PowerCenter repository database only during the first load.
Drop view
In addition, if the PowerCenter repository is on IBM DB2 for LUW, the user account also requires create and drop function permissions.
