Continuous Update Settings

When Smart Provisioning functionality is enabled, CA Identity Manager notifies CA RCM of changes at frequent intervals, instead of waiting for an import from CA Identity Manager to CA RCM. Continuous updates, which are sent using web services, provide CA RCM with the most current Identity Manager information.

When a provisioning role, account, or account template change occurs, CA Identity Manager generates a notification and adds it to a queue. At specified intervals, CA Identity Manager creates an aggregate notification with all the information in the queue (up to the maximum batch size) and sends it to CA RCM.

Define the following settings for continuous update:

Post Notifications to Queue

Enables the queuing of notifications for all Identity Manager tasks that complete successfully. If you clear this check box, no notifications are queued to be sent to CA RCM.

Note: This check box can be selected even if the CA RCM connection is disabled, meaning notifications are queued until the connection is re-established.

Send Queued Notifications

Enables the sending of notifications queued up in the analytics queue. If you clear this check box, CA Identity Manager suspends the sending of notifications to CA RCM. If the CA RCM connection is disabled, no notifications from the analytics queue are sent to CA RCM. If the Queue Notification check box is cleared, this check box is cleared also. No notifications can be sent if you do not queue the notifications.

Note: You may want to disable the sending of notifications if the CA RCM Server is unavailable.

Maximum Notification Batch Size

Defines the maximum number of notifications that are read from the queue and sent to CA RCM in a batch for that interval.

Default: 1000 notifications

Notification Batch Transmit Interval

Specifies the interval in seconds, minutes, or hours between times when CA Identity Manager sends a batch of notifications from the queue to CA RCM.

Default: 59 seconds

Minimum: 1 second
