8 Regular maintenance

To maintain optimal performance for your IBM Tivoli Identity Manager environment, regular maintenance is required.

Regularly empty the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager recycle bin. As the number of objects in the recycle bin increase LDAP performance can degrade. The frequency at which the recycle bin is emptied depends on how frequently deletes occur in the system. Ideally, the recycle bin would contain fewer than 100 items. See IBM Tivoli Identity Manager applicationRecycle bin for more information on how to empty the recycle bin.

Update database statistics after a large number of updates. Updating database statistics in the underlying databases can significantly improve performance and should be done on a weekly basis for most environments. This applies to the IBM DB2 database if using LDAP Server as well as the underlying IBM DB2 of the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager application. See the appropriate database sections on how to update database statistics.
