      sqlplus sys@databaseAlias as sysdba

      where databaseAlias is the database alias of your BRM database.

    2. Grant read privileges to the pending XA transaction views:

      SQL> GRANT SELECT ON DBA_2PC_PENDING TO user;
SQL> GRANT SELECT ON DBA_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS TO user;

      where user is the name of a BRM database user.

    3. Exit SQL*Plus.

    4. Stop and restart the BRM database to initialize the database instance with your changes.

Your JCA Resource Adapter installation is now complete.
