Databases

CA IdentityMinder uses data sources to connect to databases that store information required to support CA IdentityMinder functionality. These databases can reside in a single physical instance of a database, or in separate instances. By default, CA IdentityMinder configures a connection to a single database, called the CA IdentityMinder Database, which contains the tables for each database type.

Object Store Database (required)

Contains CA IdentityMinder configuration information.

Task Persistence Database (required)

Maintains information about CA IdentityMinder activities and their associated events over time. This system tracks all activities, even if you stop and restart the CA IdentityMinder Server.

Workflow Database

Stores workflow process definitions, jobs, scripts, and other data required by the workflow engine.

Audit Database

Provides a historical record of operations that occur in a CA IdentityMinder environment.

Archive Database

Stores archived task persistence data.

Snapshot Database

Stores snapshot data, which reflects the current state of objects in CA IdentityMinder at the time the snapshot is taken. You can generate reports from this information to view the relationship between objects, such as users and roles.
