Archival utilities into OIM:
In order to improve performance and have better scalability archival tools in OIM 11g are very important features. Today I will explain a bit more about this features and provide some techinical information about them.
Tasks - refers to one or more activities that comprise a process, which handles the provisioning of a resource. OIM doesn’t remove completed tasks from the active task tables. As size of the active task tables increases. And some environments are experiencing decreased performance when managing open tasks and pending approvals.
Reconciliation -
OIM Reconciliation Manager does not remove reconciled data from the active reconciliation tables. As the size of the active reconciliation tables increases. So as tasks, you can have decreased performance during the reconciliation process.
Nowadays(OIM11G) , we have online archival that is a better option that what we had for first time into version 9. So, basically we can do archival with everything up and running without any outages , from customer perspective.
This archival utilities comes with OIM files as:
$OIM_HOME/db/oim/oracle/Utilities/Recon11gArchival/oim_recon_archival.sh,
$OIM_HOME/db/oim/oracle/Utilities/TaskArchival/OIM_TasksArch.sh
$OIM_HOME/db/oim/oracle/Utilities/RequestArchival/oim_request_archival.sh
I hope this helps you on your IDm project,
Thiago Leoncio.
