Installing a One Identity Manager History Database

IMPORTANT: The One Identity Manager database and the One Identity Manager History Database must have the same version number.

Installation of a One Identity Manager History Database is similar to that of a One Identity Manager database. For more information about the system prerequisites and how to install a database, see the .One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

Use the One Identity Manager History Database to set up the Configuration Wizard.

NOTE: Be aware of the following features:

  • In the Configuration Wizard, select the configuration module on the Select configuration modules page.

    • If you started the Configuration Wizard from the installation wizard, the configuration modules for the selected edition are already activated. In this case, check over the module selection.

    • If you started the Configuration Wizard directly, at this point select the Data Archiving Module. Dependent configuration modules are selected automatically.

  • If you install the One Identity Manager Service for the One Identity Manager History Database using the Configuration Wizard, on the Service installation page, you can change the installation directory, name, display name, and description of the service.

The Configuration Wizard runs the following steps.

  1. Installs the One Identity Manager History Database schema in a database.

    The Configuration Wizard can create a new database and install the schema. Alternatively, the schema can be installed in an existing database.

  2. Creates the required SQL Server logins and database users permissions for the administrative user, configuration user and end user.

  3. Creates administrative system users and permissions groups.

  4. Encrypts the database.

  5. Installs and configures the One Identity Manager Service with direct access to the One Identity Manager History Database for handling SQL processes.

Additional steps are required to configure the One Identity Manager History Database following the schema installation:

  • Configure the database for a test, development, or live system. For detailed information, see One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

  • Enter the source database in the One Identity Manager History Database.

  • Set up the archiving method.
