OIA Modules
Oracle Identity Analytics (OIA) is divided in to various modules based on functionality offered by OIA
a) Identity Warehouse: This is core of OIA where data is being populated and present in OIA for various functionality like Certification or SoD. Identity warehouse could be populated using existing Identity Provisioning solution like OIM (Oracle Identity Manager), API, CSV, XML as shown in above diagram.
b) Identity Certification: This module is responsible for certifying User, Roles, Data Owners etc. . This module is also responsible for tracking changes made after certification and remediating the changes with appropriate comments.
