Error description

  • The following REST API call and corresponding method takes long
    time in BPM 8 if you have a rather big amount of data in
    lsw_snapshot table (typically in process center envs):
    
    REST:getTaskActions.......16:21:23:118-16:22:18:202 (  55084ms)
    period 55084ms 'EJB Calls'
    Method=AuthorizationAPIFacadeCore.canExecuteTasksActions
    
     In certain cases, the API call to retrieve the alllowed
    actions for tasks are expensive, in particular when the
    ACTION_INVITE is queried either explicitly (as part of a list
    of actions) or implicitly (when no list of actions is
    specified). The performance for retrieving this information
    from the underlying database may thereby degrade when the
    repository contains many snapshots (e.g. several thousands).
    This APAR improves the performance of this API call by caching
    the invariant information for each task definition; thus, only
    the first loading of a particular human service will require
    the expensive retrieval, whereas all subsequent requests for
    retrieving the actions for the same task definition will
    benefit from the cache.
    

Local fix

  • If at all possible clear down as much snapshots as possible
    using the delete process application feature in BPM.
