Acquire a DBZ Database Using the Provisioning Manager

To acquire a DBZ database, you must do the following:

From the Endpoint Type task view

  1. Register the database as an endpoint in CA IdentityMinder.

    Use the DBZ Endpoint property sheet to register a DB2 z/OS database. During the registration process, CA IdentityMinder identifies the DBZ database you want to administer and gathers information about it.

  2. Explore the objects that exist on the endpoint.

    After registering the database in CA IdentityMinder, you can explore its contents. Use the Explore and Correlate Endpoint dialog. The Exploration process finds all DBZ database authorization names that exist in the database authorization tables. You can correlate the authorization names of the User type (DBZ Users) with global users at this time, or you can wait to correlate them.

  3. Correlate the explored DBZ users with global users.

    When you correlate DBZ users, CA IdentityMinder creates or links the DBZ users to an endpoint with global users, as follows:

    1. CA IdentityMinder attempts to match the DBZ user name with each existing global user name. If a match is found, CA IdentityMinder associates the DBZ user name with the global user. If a match is not found, CA IdentityMinder performs the following step.
    2. If the Create Global Users as Needed button is checked, CA IdentityMinder creates a new global user and then associates the DBZ account with the global user. If the Create Global Users as Needed button is unchecked, CA IdentityMinder performs the next step.
    3. CA IdentityMinder associates the DBZ user with the [default user] object.
