CA ControlMinder Database Size Limitation

The CA ControlMinder database is limited to one million (1,000,000) objects. This size limitation is only likely to affect your deployment if you use advanced policy management in a large environment.

If the CA ControlMinder database in your enterprise is expected to hold 1,000,000 objects, you need to remove old DEPLOYMENT objects that are no longer in use.

Example: Calculating the Number of Objects in the CA ControlMinder Database

The following example shows you how to calculate the number of objects that you can expect to have in the DMS-the central CA ControlMinder management database.

In this example, we have an enterprise deployment of CA ControlMinder on 5000 endpoints, each holding 50 assigned policies. As a result, the DMS contains at least 250,000 objects, as follows:

5,000 endpoints X 50 policies = 250,000 DEPLOYMENT objects

If over time you create four versions of each policy, and assign these policies to each of your 5000 endpoints, the number of objects in the DMS will reach the 1,000,000 objects limit, as follows:

5,000 endpoints X 50 policies X 4 version = 1,000,000 DEPLOYMENT objects
