Runtime database

The runtime database stores user data such as session attributes and device fingerprints. The runtime database is required for environments that utilize the Advanced Access Control and Federation capabilities of ISAM. Although the appliance contains support for an embedded runtime database, IBM recommends the embedded runtime database is only used in environments that require a small amount of data to be stored (for example, in proof-of-concepts, development and test environments, etc). In production environments, IBM recommends that an external database be used to store the runtime data. In this way, the administrator can have greater control over disk space allocations, high availability, disaster recovery, and database tuning. The appliance provides the ability to migrate the data stored in the embedded database into an external database.

To manage the disk space usage of the runtime database, we can clear some or all of its stored data.
