PM15897: WHILE LOADING A VERY LARGE DIRECTORY WHEN MODIFYING LOAD RULES, RETRIEVING PROPERTIES FROM SERVER IS MUCH SLOWER THAN RWP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• While loading a very large directory when modifying load rules,
  retrieving properties from server is much slower than RWP
  
  
  
  ClearCase CM Server 7.1.1.1
  
  All UNIX
  
  
  To Reproduce:
  
  1)  Make a VOB and View in base ClearCase
  
  2)  Make a directory element and then cd into the directory
  
  3)  Make greater than 10,000 elements in the directory
  
  4)  Make sure to verify all versions are checked in
  
  5)  From the CCRC client using CM, login to the server
  
  6)  Make a new view
  
  7)  When modifying the load rules, select the VOB created above
  and then click on the directory with the large number of
  elements
  
  The CCRC client hangs and the CM Server slows and becomes
  unresponsive at times. The same can be seen with an existing
  view while modifying the load rules and following step 7) above.
  
  
  
  Workaround:  None
