What are the minimum db user privileges required for CDC?

Question

What are the minimum privileges required for the source data server user in order to to successfully implement CDC
Currently I'm getting an "Insufficient privileges" error when trying to start a CDC journal on a model. The error is happening on the step that creates a trigger on the table in the source schema.
Here's the situation:
The data server uses the user "ODI_TEMP" for its connection. ODI_TEMP has been granted select privileges on the desired tables in the source schema. When starting the CDC journal on the model for the source schema, ODI tries to create a trigger on the source tables. This fails since the ODI_TEMP user can't create triggers on anything outside of it's own schema. For obvious fundamental security reasons, we cannot give the ODI_TEMP user the CREATE ANY TRIGGER system privilege on the data source.
Journalizing is set up using JKM Oracle Consistent. ODI is 11g, DB is 11g.

Hi,
You can go for this
Grant CREATE ANY TRIGGER system privilege to ODI_TMP
Start the Journal , it will create triggers in ODI_TMP schema for the tables present in your source schema.
Now revoke CREATE ANY TRIGGER system privilege from ODI_TMP.
It will continue to work .. only when you are restarting the journal (due to adding or removing some tables in CDC) , you will be requiring CREATE ANY TRIGGER privilege.
