Additional Information

We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle.  If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.

Workaround

  1. After running the tool in 10.7.1, connect as the OS-authenticated user and make an appropriate selection set using ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro, which should create the missing indexes and sequence and still allow the log files to be Global Temporary Tables.
  2. Use 10.7 or earlier to create the OS-authenticated user which uses traditional tables for the log files (optionally, convert them to Global Temporary Tables as per https://support.esri.com/en/Technical-Article/000009061).
  3. Create a database authenticated user and use Oracle tools to create the missing indexes and sequences based on the DDL from the database-authenticated user, for example:

CREATE INDEX "TESTUSER3"."SDE_LOGFILE_DATA_IDX1" ON "TESTUSER3"."SDE_LOGFILE_DATA" ("LOGFILE_DATA_ID", "SDE_ROW_ID") ;

CREATE INDEX "TESTUSER3"."SDE_LOGFILE_DATA_IDX2" ON "TESTUSER3"."SDE_LOGFILE_DATA" ("SDE_ROW_ID") ;

CREATE INDEX "TESTUSER3"."SDE_LOGFILE_DATA_IDX3" ON "TESTUSER3"."SDE_LOGFILE_DATA" ("LOGFILE_DATA_ID", "UUID_VAL") ;

CREATE INDEX "TESTUSER3"."SDE_LOGFILE_DATA_IDX4" ON "TESTUSER3"."SDE_LOGFILE_DATA" ("UUID_VAL") ;

CREATE SEQUENCE "TESTUSER3"."SDE_LOGFILE_LID_GEN" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 21 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE NOKEEP NOSCALE GLOBAL ;
