Reporting Architecture

In CA Identity Manager, the reporting setup requires the three major components in the following diagram:

Note: The Snapshot Database in this illustration graphic could also be the Audit Database or Workflow Database.

• Report Server

  Also known as CA Business Intelligence, this server generates reports, communicating directly with CA Identity Manager and the Snapshot Database.

• Report Database

  The database where the CA Report Server (Business Objects) stores its own data.

• CA Identity Manager

  CA Identity Manager allows you to export CA Identity Manager object data to the Report Database.

• Snapshot Database

  A separate database containing the snapshot data of objects in CA Identity Manager

Important! The Report Server is powered by Business Objects Enterprise XI. If you already have a Report Server in your environment and want to use it with CA Identity Manager, the minimum version required by CA Identity Manager is Business Objects XI r2 sp4.
