Reporting Architecture

In CA IdentityMinder, the reporting setup requires the three major components in the following diagram:

This illustration shows the Report Server and CA IdentityMinder server on separate systems

Note: The Snapshot Database in this illustration graphic could also be the Audit Database or Workflow Database.

Report Server

Also known as CA Business Intelligence, this server generates reports, communicating directly with CA IdentityMinder and the Snapshot Database.

Report Database

The database where the CA Report Server (Business Objects) stores its own data.

CA IdentityMinder

CA IdentityMinder allows you to export CA IdentityMinder object data to the Report Database.

Snapshot Database

A separate database containing the snapshot data of objects in CA IdentityMinder

Important! The Report Server uses Business Objects Enterprise. If you already have a Report Server in your environment and want to use it with CA IdentityMinder, the minimum version required by CA IdentityMinder is CA Business Intelligence 3.3 SP1.
