23.3.1 Understanding the Requests Archival Utility

By default, Oracle Identity Manager does not remove closed or withdrawn requests from the active request tables. To archive these requests and free up the disk space and thereby enhance database performance, the Requests Archival utility is used. You can archive request data based on request creation date and request status. Archiving Note: You must enter the value of Y or N when prompted. If you press Enter without selecting a value, then the utility again counts the number of tasks to be archived and prompts you without beginning the archive. Note: You must analyze the active task tables and their indexes for updated statistics, because the data from active task tables is removed. Perform this step only if you are using Oracle Database as the database for Oracle Identity Manager. Table 23–2 Output Files Generated by the Task Archival Utility File Description Err_DB_Conn_timestamp.log Generated when the utility is unable to connect to the database with the specified credentials Err_Arch_Tasks_timestamp.log Generated when the archival or deletion processes fail Arch_TaskData_timestamp.log Generated when the archival or deletion processes succeed Note: These error log files are deleted when you run the utility again.
