The Snapshot Parameter XML File

CA Identity Manager reports enable you to see the current state of a CA Identity Manager environment. You can use this information to ensure compliance with internal business policies or external regulations.

You generate CA Identity Manager reports from management data which describes the relationship between objects in CA Identity Manager environment. Examples of management data include the following:

A user’s profile attributes
A list of roles that contain a certain task
The members of a role or group
The rules that comprise a role

Use the appropriate Snapshot Parameter XML file to define the management data used in the report.

Important! ExportAll.xml is the default XML file, but it is intended as a sample XML file only. If you use the ExportAll.xml file, it exports all the data for reporting and can take a long time to complete. For large data, it may also give out of memory error. We recommend that you use the default XML files to export the required data to run a specific report.

ExportAll.xml is moved from the Standard templates folder to the following file location:

[Program Files]\CA\Identity Manager\IAM Suite\Identity Manager\tools\samples\SnapshotExport

The following table lists the default XML files and their associated reports:
