Problem conclusion

• A fix is available or will be available that provides the
  following changes.
  1. Refresh the instance search result panel when changing any of
  the filter selections.
  2. Refresh the instance search result panel when performing
  single instance or multi instance actions.
  3. Disable "Select all instance" button in Process Server server
  by default. You may enable it by setting <enable-bulk-actions>
  (default value is false) property value to 'true'.
  4. Introduce a new configuration property
  <bulk-action-instance-limit> (default value is 1000) to limit
  the maximum number of instances allowed to perform the bulk
  actions.
  5. When running action "Select all instances", the maximum
  number of instances can be terminated is set by
  <bulk-action-instance-limit> value.
  6. When neither "Process Application" nor "Snapshot" is
  selected, clicking "select all instances" button to perform
  actions is not allowed.
  7. When you click "Select all instances" button, the first
  dialog displays the filters being selected. User needs to
  confirm the number of instances to be impacted based on the
  current filter selections.
      The second dialog informs user if the current count and
  previous count are consistent, informs user that the number of
  instances will perform the action. The amount is the less number
  of selected instances and the value of
  <bulk-action-instance-limit>.
  8. When you click "select shown instances" button to perform
  Terminate or Delete action, the numbers of instances are listed
  for each process application.
  
  It is optional to enable the "Select all instances" button by
  updating the 100Custom.xml.
  <server>
          <process-inspector  merge="mergeChildren">
              <!-- This value is to limit the instances you can
  perform the action when you use "Select all instances", the
  default value is 1000-->
              <bulk-action-instance-limit
  merge="replace">1000</bulk-action-instance-limit>
              <!-- This boolean value is to enable "Select all
  instances" button in Process Server environment, the default is
  false -->
              <enable-bulk-actions
  merge="replace">true</enable-bulk-actions>
          </process-inspector>
  </server>
