JR46694: CMVC 228640 - Performance degradation when searching entitlements via CheckCatalogGroupEntitlementBySearchCmdImpl.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When there is a large number of entitlements to be searched, it
  may take 15 secs before a result will be returned.
  

Local fix

• Disable entitlement search.  This workaround is only viable for
  b2c stores not using catalog filter.
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
   Any WC user doing a search on a large number of entitlements.
  
   PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
   Performance degradation when searching entitlements via
  CheckCatalogGroupEntitlementBySearchCmdImp.
  
   BUSINESS IMPACT:
   This will cause delays in the search return and can cause users
  to spend more time searching then expected.
  
   RECOMMENDATION:
   This fix is in FEP4 and above.
  

Problem conclusion

• There are three enhancements in this APAR:
   1. For category entitlement, as we will leverage facet to do
  category entitlement. For a regular facet, after we got response
  from solr, we need transform the facet index column name to
  facet show name which need additional attribute dictionary
  service. In this APAR, we skip this step, as here, facet need
  not shown on the page.
   2. For a contract, regularly, we need call catalog filter
  service and API to generate entitlement expression. In this
  APAR, we create data cache to cache the generated entitlement
  expression. So for the same contract, the generation step could
  be skipped.
   3. When there is no exclusion on a contract, we will skip solr
  call in this APAR.
