IT36394: DISPLAY VMS FOR AN SLA CAN TAKE MORE THAN 5 MINUTES IN IBM SPECTRUM PROTECT PLUS UI WHEN THERE ARE LARGE NUMBER OF VMS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Displaying VMs for an SLA can take more than 5 minutes in IBM
  Spectrum Protect Plus UI when there are large number of VMs
  like 1000 more. The logging is performed when finding the VMs
  for an SLA. When the number of VMs is large, the cumulative
  effect of writing to the log is slowing down the execution of
  the association framework call.
  
  Versions affected: 10.1.7.*

Problem conclusion

• Logging added in the back-end in 10.1.7 ifix2 that caused a
  slow-down in performance when displaying VMs in the UI. This
  unneeded logging was removed and this performance issue has been
  fixed.
