The following information was taken fromChapter 6 of the Projectwise Implementation guide for version 08.11.11.11.111
For Oracle databases, you must manually set the database Character Set and National Character Set encodings. These values are typically defined when installing the Oracle database software and creating a new Oracle database, although they may be changed on a running database with some effort (consult your Oracle documentation). The two encodings most typically used in Oracle are UTF8 and AL32UTF8; Please consult your Oracle documentation for information regarding which character set you should use when creating the database. If you will be running ProjectWise against an existing Oracle database, you will need to verify that the database NLS character set parameters are set for Unicode. This information can be found in the NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS table.
From a SQL prompt connected to the database
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters
When Oracle is your database, the Oracle database user must have (at a minimum) the following privileges and permissions in order to run ProjectWise Integration Server:
— CONNECT role
— CREATE PROCEDURE privilege
— CREATE SEQUENCE privilege
— CREATE TABLE privilege
— CREATE VIEW privilege
— UNLIMITED TABLESPACE privilege
— EXECUTE permission on the DBMS_LOB package
