Paging Support for Improved Search Performance

In previous versions of CA Identity Manager, large searches that returned many results caused the system to run out of memory in some cases. To help prevent memory issues, this version of CA Identity Manager includes paging support for the following objects:

• Identity Manager Directory

  You can configure the DirectorySearch element in the directory configuration file (directory.xml) that you use to create the Identity Manager Directory.

  By default, the value for maximum rows and page size is unlimited for existing directories. For new directories, the value for maximum rows is unlimited and the value for page size is 2000.

• Managed object definition

  To set maximum row limits and page sizes that apply to one type of object instead of an entire Directory, configure the managed object definition the directory.xml file that you use to create the Identity Manager Directory.

  Setting limits for a managed object type allows you to make adjustments based on business requirements. For example, most companies have more users than groups. Those companies can set limits for user object searches only.

Note: To use paging, the user store that CA Identity Manager manages must support paging. In some cases, the user store supports paging, but additional configuration is required. For more information, see the Configuration Guide.
