5.5 Using the Identity Governance Installer to Create and Populate the Database for Identity Reporting

If you are installing Identity Reporting on a separate server from Identity Governance, there are additional steps you must perform to have the Identity Governance installer create and populate the Identity Reporting database. The following steps assume that you are using the same database server for Identity Governance and Identity Reporting.

To have the Identity Governance installer create and populate the database:

  1. Ensure that Identity Governance supports the database version you are using. For more information, see Section 2.4, Hardware and Software Requirements.

  2. Ensure that the database server, the Identity Governance server, and the Identity Reporting server run on the same subnetwork in your IT environment.

  3. (Conditional) If you are not using PostgreSQL, download the appropriate JDBC driver for your database and copy it to the server where you will install Identity Reporting. For more information, see Section 5.7, Adding the JDBC File to the Application Server.

  4. Ensure that you meet the prerequisites for the Identity Governance installation and then you can start the installation. For more information, see Section 7.2, Prerequisites for Identity Reporting.

  5. Use the information that you gather in the Table 7-1, Identity Reporting Installation Worksheet to install Identity Reporting.

  6. During the installation of Identity Reporting, select Configure database now to have the installer create and populate the databases.

  7. When the installation process completes, review the logs the installer creates. The default directory for the logs is here:

    • Linux: /opt/netiq/idm/apps/idrpt/logs

    • Windows: c:\netiq\idm\apps\idrpt\logs
