APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  
  In some environments, tacmd response time is very slow. Through
  tracing, the problem was initially narrowed down to the
  CandleGetJavaHome routine and then further narrowed down to
  the dynarch.shl routine. The code that determines the CLASSPATH
  value for ITM requires optimization.
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  Run any tacmd incantation the problem environment.
  
  LOCAL FIX:
  None.

Problem summary

• "tacmd" and "itmcmd" commands perform slowly.
  
  In some environments, the "tacmd" and "itmcmd" commands run
  slowly.  Analysis of running processes shows a lot of time spent
  in "find" commands being run by the dynarch.shl script.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was changed to remove the "find" incantations that were
  slowing things down.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:
