About Dynamic Values Processes

A dynamic values process is a CA IT PAM process that you can invoke to populate or update the values list for a selected key that is used in reports or alerts. The assumption is that you are already storing master lists of the files, databases, hosts, users, and so forth that make up your work environment and that this master list is designed with attributes that allow you to query for sets of values of interest. If you use CA IT PAM, you can create processes that can be invoked to run the queries that return the data to CA User Activity Reporting Module for use as key values in the reports and alerts based on keys. Being able to dynamically create a values list is a useful way to keep volatile key list updated with current values.
