IBM BPM 8.5.0.1 - Booting the Bootstrap

I've seen similar problems before, but wasn't sure whether I'd fully documented one particular issue, related to DB permissions.

So I'm boot-strapping my BPM database, post installation: -

/opt/ibm/WebSphereProfiles/Dmgr01/bin/bootstrapProcessServerData.sh -clusterName AppCluster

which returns: - 

Bootstraping data into cluster AppCluster

 The DB messages lead one straight to root cause.

I'm using a different user - DB2USER1 - to connect from WAS to DB2, rather than the DB2 instance - DB2INST1 - which I'd normally use in lazybones fashion.

Whilst the DB2 instance has ALL rights to the database, this user does NOT.

Solution, give DB2USER1 the appropriate permissions - I chose DBADM - to the BPMDB database: -

db2 connect to BPMDB
db2 grant dbadm on database to user db2user1
db2 terminate

Sorted :-)

Now my bootstrapping works as one would hope ....
