JR48820: DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT API CALL IS SLOW AND CONTAINS EXTRANEOUS DATA

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The REST API call is made from the DocumentList Coach Control
    in order to build a map of user ids to user names. This map is
    used to display the user name in the 'creator' column of the
    control. And it still looks like all LDAP
    users are returned in output.
    Similar to JR48022
    
    The slow REST call looks like this:
    /rest/bpm/wle/v1/users?includeTaskExperts=true&sort=true&include
    InternalMemberships=true&parts=all
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When using a document list control with a large list of users, a
    REST call takes too long.
    
    EDITIONS AFFECTED:
    IBM Business Process Manager Advanced, Standard, and Express
    
    PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
    When using a document list control, a REST call is made to
    retrieve a map of user IDs to user names, which is used to
    resolve the ?Modified by? column in the list. However, this call
    can take a long time when the list of users is large.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 is available that removes the
    time-consuming REST call from the document list coach view and
    introduces a server script in the default Enterprise Content
    Management (ECM) search service. The server script maps the IDs
    to the user names. Because this script runs on the server only
    for the specified set of IDs, the query is fast and the data
    that is returned is concise.
    
    The fix for V8.5.0.1 has been included with superseding fix
    for APAR JR50346. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fix
    central), search for JR50346:
    
    1. Select the product group, product, installed version, and
    platform, and click Continue.
    2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR50346, and click Continue.
    
    When downloading fix packages, ensure that you also download the
    readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional
    installation instructions and information about the fix.
    
    This fix changes the default ECM search service in the Content
    Management toolkit. When working with the document list coach
    view, this service is called to perform the search to populate
    the documents table. It is standard practice, shown in the
    documentation, to copy this service from the Content Management
    toolkit into the current process application and configure it to
    use the ECM server that is required.
    
    Note: If you have a previous version of the service copied into
    the process application, you will not see the fix working. For
    evidence that the fix is working, copy the fixed default ECM
    search service into the process application, configure this
    search service, and set the document list to use this search
    service.
