POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

For installing and configuring CXA 6.3 hotfix version, where the data warehouse user does not have the permissions to create the database objects in the target database, the instructions in the CXA Admin Guide that refer to initializing or reinitializing CXA should not be followed. Instead, the following instructions should be precisely followed.

For initializing CXA the first time, when no CXA tables yet exist in the schema, the DDL in the file cxa_avae_create_tables_hfix63.sql should be executed by a database administrator for the same schema/owner as the tables for the CXT solution. After that, the optional job cxa_submart_AVAE_initialize should be run in DI Studio (as described in the CXA Admin Guide.)
For reinitializing CXA at a later time, the database administrator must execute the SQL in the file cxa_avae_truncate_tables_hfix63.sql and only then run the optional job cxa_submart_AVAE_initialize in DI Studio (as described in the CXA Admin Guide.)

Both of the above mentioned files may be found on disk at !SASROOT/misc/avacxasvr.
