Slow performance caused by using 'Track Data' (for example when running Trial Balance with Drilldown reports)

Troubleshooting


Problem

User clicks "Group - Reports - Trial Balance with Drilldown". User runs report. The performance is slow. Other actions in Controller may also be slow too.

Symptom

Intermittent slow performance when running Trial Balance reports (and perhaps other Controller functionality too).

  • The slow performance will only occur soon after data has been imported.

Example:


In one real-life customer example, a Trial Balance report slowed (from 15 seconds = normal speed) to over 50 minutes.
