Increasing User Limits for Capture Snapshot Data - CA Identity Manager 14.x

Products

• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

When capturing snapshot data in Identity Manager, the process may hit predefined user limits enforced by the Corporate (User) store. This article explains how to adjust the max-op-size parameter in CA Directory and the maxrows limit in the Directory.xml file to accommodate larger datasets.

Environment

Identity Manager 14.5

Cause

The user limit is enforced by the configuration parameters within the CA Directory instance and the Directory settings. These default limits prevent the snapshot process from exporting more users than defined in max-op-size (for the DSA) and maxrows (for UI-related searches).

Resolution

Part 1: Increasing the max-op-size in CA Directory

1. Access the vApp with UserStore deployed.
2. Switch to the dsa user: su - dsa.
3. Open the vapp-default.dxc file for editing: vim /opt/CA/Directory/dxserver/config/limits/vapp-default.dxc.
4. Ensure the file has read/write permissions (e.g., chmod 640 vapp-default.dxc).
5. Update the max-op-size parameter to the desired higher value (e.g., set max-op-size = 20000;).
6. Save the file and restart the UserStore DSA to apply changes: dxserver init DSANAME.

Part 2: Updating maxrows in Directory.xml for UI Tasks

1. Access the Identity Manager Management Console.
   
   
2. Navigate to Directories, select your User Store, and click Export.
   
   
3. Edit the Userstore.xml file and locate the maxrows parameter.
   
   
4. Update the value to the desired limit for search results.
   
   
5. In the Management Console, select the User Store and click Update.
   
   
6. Import the edited Userstore.xml file and restart the Identity Manager environment.
