APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The public method toString() of the ManagedAssetClassLoader prints the internal details of its classloader and the details of all its managed assets. For example, the ScopeManager class prints information about any unknown or unexpected classloader it encounters at run time, resulting in log statements like [12/7/16 11:17:14:571 GMT-05:00] 0000015d ScopeManager CWLAG0209I: A foreign classloader * * * com.lombardisoftware.server.core.ManagedAssetClassLoader * * * As a result, performance slows down when numerous assets are being logged.
Local fix
Problem summary
Any code that uses an instance of ManagedAssetClassloader in its logging invokes the public toString() method, potentially causing the time-consuming logging algorithm to run although the detailed information is not required.

Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.03 that changes the the public toString() method so that only the key data, such as the class name and the current and the initial size of the static ManagedAssetClassLoader cache, is printed. With this fix installed, additional details are logged by the specific class trace only. Furthermore, the ManagedAssetClassLoader class has been removed from the component logger WLE.wle=all. You can trace the ManagedAssetClassLoader class by using the trace specification "com.lombardisoftware.server.core.*=finer" -> logs the entry and exit trace events "com.lombardisoftware.server.core.*=finest" -> adds log for the ManagedAssetClassLoader details (formerly done by toString()) To determine whether the cumulative fix is available, complete the following steps on Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral): 1. On the Select product tab, select WebSphere as the product group, IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the WebSphere options, All as the installed version, and All as the platform, and then click Continue. 2. In the Text field, enter "cumulative fix", and click Continue. If cumulative fix 2017.03 is available, download and install it.
