Reporting Architecture

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 uses Business Objects Enterprise. 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 CA Business Intelligence 3.2.
