PM76897: Drawing on a diagram takes a long time when there are many elements in the model

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• When a model contains many elements (several thousand +) and the
  browser has been expanded to show those elements, it can take up
  to 30 seconds to draw an element (e.g. a class) on a diagram
  (e.g. OMD) and for control to return to the user. If the parent
  containing all of those elements is then unloaded there is no
  noticable delay in drawing on the diagram.

  elements in the model
  

Problem conclusion

• Found 2 delays that can be improved using property setting:
  1. Class generation delay - Minor
  Set General::Model::WarnForDuplicates property to True
  2. Browser refresh delay following drawing - Major
  Add the following site.prp
  
  Subject Browser
   Metaclass Settings
    Property IsRefreshByObjectsAllowed Bool
  "True"
   end
  end
  
  This improves refresh delay in about 90%
  

Temporary fix
