APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Permissions need to be requested for each dependency path when
  opening a process application in process designer. When
  connecting with an LDAP user, checking permissions is slower
  than using a local security user.
  
  This call is made many times when a processs app is opened.

  re.getPermissions()
  
  At a minimum it is is run for as many groups the user is a
  member of. These groups can be local or LDAP.
  
  As the size of the application grows (number of total
  repository assets and toolkits with their assets) the longer
  the check takes.
  

Local fix

• none.
  using a local user with less group relations provides
