CA Identity Manager Implementation Guide - CA Technologies

Tuning for Provisioning ComponentsCA Directory includes a cache, called dxCache, which is an in-memorydatabase implementation that can search across cached data.Note: For more information about CA Directory, see the CA DirectoryAdministrator Guide.Tuning for Provisioning ComponentsWhen a CA Identity Manager implementation includes provisioning, use thefollowing optimizations to ensure the best performance:■Optimize the connection between the Identity Manager Server and theProvisioning ServerCA Identity Manager communicates with the Provisioning Server using theJava IAM (JIAM) API. To improve communication performance, youconfigure the following:– JIAM session pool for multiple connections to the Provisioning ServerNote: CA recommends setting the initial sessions value to 8, and themaximum sessions to 128.– JIAM cache for objects retrieved from the Provisioning ServerNote: For information on JIAM configuration settings, see the AdministrationGuide.■ Set account synchronization to occur at the end of a task (see page 82),instead of the end of each event■Tune the Provisioning ServerNote: See the Administration Guide and Installation Guide for moreinformation.90 Implementation Guide
