CIA and CA Chorus

CA Chorus for Security and Compliance Management leverages information from various sources. For many features, it interacts directly with the mainframe security product. For real-time processing of security events, it leverages the security event capabilities of CA Compliance Manager. For user (account) and security policy information, the CA Chorus security role processes information from a CIA repository.

The information in the CIA repository is accurate only at the time the batch unload and load process is performed. Any changes to the security database information after the information is unloaded are not reflected in the CIA repository.

The real-time nature of processing security and compliance information requires that information in the CIA repository is an accurate reflection of current information in the security product definitions. Any changes to the information in the security product database must be communicated in real time to the CA Chorus CIA repository. The CIA real-time feature helps ensure that the information in the CIA repository reflects the current information in the security product database.

Note: The CIA real-time feature is available only when CA Chorus is installed at your site. When the CIA real-time feature is enabled, it performs an LMP check for the CA Chorus LMP key. Without the key, the CIA real-time feature cannot be enabled.
