Create the Database

CA IdentityMinder requires a relational database to store objects and data for auditing, snapshots (reporting), workflow, and task persistence. Install a supported version of Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server and create a database.

When installing CA IdentityMinder, all of the database schemas are created automatically when the application server is started. However, after installing CA IdentityMinder, you can configure separate databases for auditing, snapshots (reporting), workflow, and task persistence. To create these databases, see the chapter on Separate Database Configuration.

Note: We strongly recommend a separate database for task persistence. Using a separate database provides the best performance.
