Performance Enhancements

CA IdentityMinder 12.6 includes performance improvements in the following areas of the product.

Bulk Loader Performance Improvements

In this release, the performance of the bulk loader is improved. The improvements include the following changes:

• Higher submission rate of tasks through the parent Bulk Loader (Feeder) task; more tasks execute in parallel.
• Optimizations in database connection reuse; managed object attribute definition caching resulting in faster execution of each task from start to end.
• Improvements to some plug-ins and listeners to speed up processing of the events that are generated during task execution.

To improve performance further, we recommend that you make these change for the duration of the bulk load operation:

• Disable any unwanted Policy Xpress policies, Business Logic Task Handlers and synchronization flags at the task level.
• Run the Bulk Loader (Feeder) task as a dedicated user with the fewest possible admin roles and admin tasks in scope.

Note: For more information about additional performance improvements, see the section on the bulk loader in the Administration Guide.

Improved Snapshot Export Performance

In this release, the process of exporting snapshot data for reports has been refactored to improve performance and usability. Using the Snapshot definition wizard, you can define or customize rules to load users, endpoints, admin roles, provisioning roles, groups, and organizations.

Using this feature, you can use a User Console task to select and export only the desired attributes for a particular snapshot instance. In previous releases, users had to edit an XML file manually.

Note: You can still use and customize the default XML files for capturing snapshots.

For more information about creating snapshot definitions, see the Administration Guide.
