Issue
When creating a new report (Reports > Tabular/Charts > Create Report) or when editing an existing report (Reports > Tabular/Charts > {report_name} > Edit) and referencing a custom table under the Query tab, the following error occurs:
 
  com.aveksa.server.runtime.ServerException:
  com.aveksa.server.runtime.ServerException:
java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00942:
          table or view does not exist

Cause
This error occurs because the report user, avdwuser, does not have select privileges on the custom table/view referenced in the query.
 
Resolution
To resolve this issue, grant select on the custom table to the avdwuser.
  1. Login to SQL as the avuser
  2. Execute the following SQL grant statement:
grant select on <table | view> to avdwuser
For example:
grant select on custom_table_1 to avdwuser
 
Notes
When the avdb schema is initially created, the avdwuser is given select privileges on all tables using the following script file:
 
$AVEKSA_HOME/database/Create Scripts/Grant_Select_To_Reports.sql 

Any tables created after the avdb schema has been created need to have the grant select statement executed manually.

Please see RSA Knowledge Base Article 000038569 -- 'Request could not be handled' error exporting metadata from RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle for an additional problem that can occur if a custom table in the avuser schema is not granted the select privilege.
