Archiving and deleting records

All entries logged in One Identity Manager are initially saved in the One Identity Manager database. The proportion of historical data to total volume of a One Identity Manager database should not exceed 25%. Otherwise, performance problems may arise. You must ensure that log entries are regularly removed from the One Identity Manager database and archived.

The following methods are provided for regularly removing recorded data from the One Identity Manager database:

  • The data can be transferred directly from the One Identity Manager database into a One Identity Manager History Database. This is the default procedure for data archiving. Select this method if the servers on which the One Identity Manager database and the History Database are located have network connectivity.

  • The data is deleted from the One Identity Manager database after a certain amount of time without being archived.

For more information about setting up archiving of data in a History Database, see One Identity Manager Data Archiving Administration Guide.

Detailed information about this topic

Deleting log entries in the One Identity Manager database without archiving

If records from separate sections are kept in the One Identity Manager database for a certain amount of time but are not archived later, you have the following options:

  • To exclude a certain section from archiving, do not configure it for export, just specify a retention period.

  • To delete all sections without archiving, specify a retention period. In the Designer, set the Common | ProcessState | ExportPolicy configuration parameter and enter the value NONE.

The records are deleted from the One Identity Manager database by DBQueue Processor when the retention period has ended. In addition, all entries for triggered actions are deleted if they have no corresponding records in those sections.

NOTE: If you do not specify a retention period, the records from that section are deleted from the One Identity Manager database during daily DBQueue Processor maintenance tasks.

Specifying log retention times

Once the retention period has ended, the recorded data is either exported or deleted from the One Identity Manager database depending on which archiving method has been chosen. A longer retention period should be selected for sections whose records will be exported than for those that will be deleted.

NOTE: If you do not specify a retention period, the records in this section will be deleted daily from the One Identity Manager database within the daily DBQueue Processor maintenance tasks.

The recordings are not exported until the retention period for all sections has expired and no other active processes for the process group (GenProcID) exist in the DBQueue, process history, or as scheduled operation.

You use configuration parameters to define the data retention periods for the individual sections.

Table 80: Configuration parameter for handling change data
Configuration parameter Meaning

Common | ProcessState | PropertyLog | IsToExport

Exports the data changes. If this configuration parameter is not set the information is deleted once the retention period has expired.

Common | ProcessState | PropertyLog | LifeTime

Maximum retention period in days of logged data changes in the database. The default value is 30.

Table 81: Configuration parameter for handling process information
Configuration parameter Meaning

Common | ProcessState | ProgressView | IsToExport

Exports the data in the process information. If this configuration parameter is not set the information is deleted once the retention period has expired.

Common | ProcessState | ProgressView | LifeTime

Maximum retention period in days of process information in the database. The default value is 30.

Table 82: Configuration parameter for handling process history
Configuration parameter Meaning

Common | ProcessState | JobHistory | IsToExport

Exports the information in the process history. If this configuration parameter is not set the information is deleted once the retention period has expired.

Common | ProcessState | JobHistory | LifeTime

Maximum retention period in days of logged process history in the database. The default value is 30.

Optimizing performance by deleting log entries

If there is a large amount of data, you can specify the number of objects to delete per DBQueue Processor operation and run in order to improve performance. You use configuration parameters to make the choice for each section.
