Does Identity Manager Support Transactional Replication?

Products

• CA Identity Manager

Issue/Introduction

Transactional replication requires a Primary key, there are a few tables within Identity Manager that do not have a Primary key. What does Broadcom recommend for database replication?

Environment

Release : 14.X

Component : IdentityMinder(Identity Manager)

Resolution

Identity Manager is not able to support transactional replication due to the requirement for a primary key constraint on each published table. 

Both Merge and Snapshot replication do not require a primary key, but if one is present, it must be replicated. It is recommended to confirm Merge or Snapshot replication based on your business use case.
