Grant View Definition for SQL Server Windchill Database Application User
For systems that use a SQL Server Windchill database application user, this database role must be granted the “VIEW DEFINITION” permission. This permission can be granted from the Properties dialog of the target database role in the SQL Server Management Studio application, or by using SQLCMD as follows:
sqlcmd -S <SQLSERVER_INSTANCE> -U sa -{ <SA_Password> -d <Windchill_DB> -Q
"GRANT VIEW DEFINITION ON SCHEMA::[WINDCHILL_SCHEMA_USER] TO [WINDCHILL_APP_DB_ROLE]"
for example:
D:\sqlcmd -S host01 -U user1 -P pass1 -d test1 -Q "GRANT VIEW DEFINITION ON
SCHEMA::[test1] TO [test1_role]"
