Error description

• When loading the Process Admin console, the
  Process Status Summary widget may take a very long time to
  complete loading.  The performance impact occurs when there are
  a large number of process instances.
     In a case where there were 290,000 process instances it took
  10 mins to update the process status count.
  .
  .---------------------------------------------------------
  The reason for this is how the ProcessApps REST call works.
  The Process Status Summary widget makes this REST call

  ****************************************************************
  In order to populate the icons adjacent to the list of Process
  Applications in the Process Instance Status Summary Widget, a
  significant amount of data needs to be retrieved and processed
  from the database. This fix also corrects a problem where the
  process instance counts are slightly inconsistent between the
  main process instance status widget and the Process Inspector
  filter panel.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix provides an optional mechanism to disable the icon,
  thus yielding performance improvements and making the process
  app list in the widget consistent with that in the main
  Process Inspector filter list.A fix for IBM BPM V8.0.0.0 and
  V8.0.1.1 is available on Fix Central:
