Transaction recovery without DDL permissions on database not possible in cloud environment

[iambastian]

When configuring transaction recovery in OpenLiberty with the <transaction> element and setting the recoveryGroup and recoveryIdentity attributes, the server automatically tries to create tables for transaction logging (e.g., WAS_TRAN_LOG), appending the recoveryIdentity to the table names. (See documentation here).

In environments where the database user has limited permissions (DML & DQL only, no DDL), this causes failures, as OpenLiberty cannot create the required tables. The documentation mentions the possibility of manually pre-creating tables for recovery, but this approach also fails because the table names include a dynamic suffix derived from the recoveryIdentity value. As a result, the table names cannot be determined in advance for manual creation.

Did I miss something in the configuration, or is it expected that transaction recovery requires dynamically created tables at runtime? If so, is there a way to configure static table names to enable manual table creation in restricted environments?
