Recommendations for Fusion Middleware Components 2-23
This section describes various Oracle Directory Integration Platform artifacts and provides recommendations for disaster recovery.
Artifacts in the Database The ODS and ODSSM schemas are part of the Identity Management database. Quartz
jobs are in the ODSSM schema.
Synchronization Recommendations The application tier and data tier must be manually synchronized with the standby
site after making configuration changes and applying patches.
Recovery Recommendations Oracle Internet Directory must be recovered with the ODS and ODSSM schemas to the
most recent point in time, along with the Managed Server running the Oracle Directory Integration Platform application, and the associated Oracle Internet
Directory instances.
2.5.4 Recommendations for Oracle Identity Federation
Oracle Identity Federation enables companies to provide services and share identities across their respective security domains, while providing protection from
unauthorized access.
This section describes various Oracle Identity Federation artifacts and provides recommendations for disaster recovery.
Artifacts in the Database Oracle Identity Federation uses the OIF schema, which is part of the Identity
Management database. When an RDBMS user store, configuration store, Federation store, message data store, or session store is configured for Oracle Identity Federation,
an external database contains those stores.
Special Considerations Load balancer virtual hosts for Oracle Identity Federation should be configured on
both the production and standby sites.
Synchronization Recommendations The application tier must be manually synchronized with the standby site after
making configuration changes and applying patches.
Oracle Data Guard should be configured for Oracle database metadata repositories and the data stores.
It is recommended that the standby database be synchronized when the application tier synchronization is initiated on the storage. This synchronization occurs
automatically because Oracle Data Guard is configured in Managed Recovery mode the recommended configuration for the database. If the standby database is not in
Managed Recovery mode, then you should manually synchronize the standby database.
Recovery Recommendations The databases containing the Oracle Identity Federation schemas and the data stores
must be recovered to the most recent point in time, along with the Managed Server running the Oracle Identity Federation application.

2.5.5 Recommendations for Oracle Directory Services Manager
Oracle Directory Services Manager is a unified graphical user interface GUI for Oracle Virtual Directory and Oracle Internet Directory. Oracle Directory Services
Manager simplifies the administration and configuration of Oracle Virtual Directory and Oracle Internet Directory by allowing you to use web-based forms and templates.
This section describes various Oracle Directory Services Manager artifacts and provides recommendations for disaster recovery.
Artifacts in the Database Not applicable because the Oracle Directory Services Manager application does not
have any database dependencies.
Special Considerations Load balancer virtual hosts for Oracle Directory Services Manager should be
configured on both the production and standby sites.
Synchronization Recommendations The application tier must be manually synchronized with the standby site after
making configuration changes and applying patches.
It is recommended that the standby database be synchronized when the application tier synchronization is initiated on the storage. This synchronization occurs
automatically because Oracle Data Guard is configured in Managed Recovery mode the recommended configuration for the database. If the standby database is not in
Managed Recovery mode, then you should manually synchronize the standby database.
Recovery Recommendations Recover the Managed Servers running the Oracle Directory Services Manager
application, along with the Administration Server.
