Instant Messaging Data

Instant Messaging server stores the following data used by Instant Messenger in the database directory (im_db_base), and is indicated by the iim.instancevardir parameter in iim.conf:

• End user properties, such as contact lists, messenger settings, subscribed news channels and access control (alternatively, these properties can be stored in LDAP).

• News channel messages and access rules.

• Alert Messages that are to be delivered. These messages are delivered and removed when the recipient logs in.

• Public conferences. This does not involve instant messages which are not persistent, but only properties of the conference objects themselves, such as access rules.
