Create a Connection for the Report

Information for CA Identity Manager reports can come from multiple sources. To specify connection details to additional data source for the report, create a JDBC Connection within CA Identity Manager.

Follow these steps:

1. In the User Console, go to Tasks, System, JDBC Connection Management, Create JDBC Connection.
2. Create a new connection object, or choose a connection object based on a specific JNDI data source.
3. Complete all the necessary fields, and click Submit.

   A new JDBC Connection is created.

Important! We recommend that you do not use the CA Identity Manager object store database for generating reports.
