Title

Does the History Database Service need to be Configured?
Description

Is there a requirement to configure the History Database service as the Identity Manager service is configured using the job service configuration? If so, where is this done?

During the install and configuration, there was no option to configure the HDBService.exe.
Resolution

The Configuration guide provides the details around installation and configuration of the history database:

Installing the HistoryDB Archive System

As per the guide:

"Use the Identity Manager Installation Wizard to install the HistoryDB Service on the server for the first time. Execute the file “autorun.exe” from the directory “\Other Products\History DB” on the Identity Manager installation CD. It is recommended that you use the installation package for the component “Server Service”. The installation in described in Installing the Identity Manager on page 28 in the Getting Started Guide."

You do need to configure the job service for the history database as well. There is a JobServiceConfigurator.exe in the HistoryDB folder. Again, as per the Config guide:

"Get the required steps for the setup and configuration from the Getting Started Guide, Installing the Identity Manager Service."
