5.0 Creating Databases for Identity Governance and Identity Reporting

Identity Governance and Identity Reporting require databases to function. You can allow the Identity Governance installer to create and populate these required databases or you can manually create and populate these databases. The Identity Governance installer also installs Identity Reporting and it can create and populate the database required for Identity Reporting.

Identity Governance requires multiple databases to function and Identity Reporting requires a single database to function. You can have the Identity Governance installation program do most of the work of building these databases, adding the schema for each database, and creating tables and views or you can have a database administrator manually do this work. It depends on your IT policies of who can modify and create databases as to whether you allow the Identity Governance installer to create the databases or whether your database administrator creates the databases.

Use the following information to understand how you can install the databases required for Identity Governance and Identity Reporting and what is required to get the databases installed properly.
