Environment

Novell Identity Manager 3.5
Novell Identity Manager Engine

Situation

What is the typical Throughput or Transactions Per Second (TPS) of IDM events on both channels?

Resolution

Throughput depends on a lot of factors, many of them outside of IDM itself. The principle limiting factors tend to be the tps of eDirectory writes and connected application reads and writes. We have seen upwards of 120 tps in tests on SLES10 on production quality server hardware using eDir to eDir driver - much higher when you get multiple drivers running in parallel dividing the work. We believe similar or higher results have been seen in the solutions lab using JMS driver.
