Select the CA Compliance Manager Repositories

CA Compliance Manager can have up to three repositories, depending on which components are running. The repositories are for the Warehouse, Data Mart, and Monitor components. The CA Compliance Manager repositories can reside in a single CA Datacom/AD MUF or a single DB2 subsystem.

Important! We recommend that the CA Datacom/AD MUF or DB2 subsystem be dedicated to the CA Compliance Manager repositories. This recommendation helps to ensure that there is no unauthorized access to the security information contained in the repositories.

No integrity issues exist when the CIA repository and the CA Compliance Manager repositories reside on the same LPAR in a single CA Datacom/AD MUF or DB2 subsystem. However, if the CA Compliance Manager Warehouse repository is recording a high volume of security events, we do not recommend that you host the repositories in a single CA Datacom/AD MUF or DB2 subsystem.

The CA Chorus server also includes a repository contained in CA Datacom/AD. When the CA Compliance Manager repositories are on the same LPAR, DO NOT place the CA Compliance Manager repositories in the same CA Datacom/AD as the CA Chorus server repository. This set up creates the potential security exposures discussed in the Important note.

When the CA Compliance Manager repositories or CIA repository resides in a CA Datacom/AD MUF, an instance of the CA Datacom Server is required for the CA Datacom/AD MUF. CA Chorus uses the CA Datacom Server to access the information from the repositories.

Follow these steps:

1. If you are using a DB2 repository for CA Compliance Manager, record the DB2 subsystem name in your Site Preparation Worksheet.

   Note: This information is required during the CA Compliance Manager implementation process.

2. If you are using to use a CA Datacom/AD repository for CA Compliance Manager, record the CA Datacom/AD MUF name in your Site Preparation Worksheet. The default MUF name provided in the CA Compliance Manager sample JCL jobs is CMGRMUF, which is recommended.

   Note: This information is required during the CIA CA Compliance Manager implementation process.
