APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the Process Center Console, it takes a long time to filter
  process applications that contain long rich-text descriptions.
  The longer the rich-text description, the more time required to
  filter the list.
  
  This issue affects IBM Process Center in Internet Explorer and
  Process Center in IBM Process Designer more than Process Center
  in other web browsers.
  
  This issue is specific to the filter bar in the Snapshot page
  for the Process Center Console, which shows all the business
  process definitions (BPDs) and other items in the snapshot.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• Don't copy large Microsoft Word or Excel documents or images
  into the description field of elements.

  descriptions  slow dthe filtering process.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available that limits the description size to 200,000
  characters. You are prevented from saving descriptionjs that
  exceed this size. In addition, with the fix applied, IBM BPM
  detects and optimizes for more description patterns.
