How CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management Captures Snapshots

CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management must capture report data, including endpoint dumps, in a snapshot before the data appears in a report. After CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management captures a snapshot, you can generate and view CA ControlMinder reports.

At the time specified in the snapshot definition, CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management performs the following actions to capture a snapshot:

• Extracts data from the user store into the central database.
• Extracts data from the SAM policy store into the central database.
• Flags the latest endpoint snapshots that exist in the central database for inclusion in the snapshot.
