Slow performance when opening (large) data entry forms inside Controller Web, caused by APAR PH00253 (related to dataentry.form.load.drilldown.enabled)

Troubleshooting


Problem

When using Controller Web, user clicks to open a data entry form. The form takes a long time to appear.

  • Problem only affects some data entry forms.

Symptom

In one real-life example, the time taken to open a specific form:

  • Original time = 10-20 seconds
  • After applying fix (see below) = 2-12 seconds

For a different form, the performance improvement was from 12 seconds to 4 seconds.

NOTE: After restarting the Controller Web service, the first Data Entry form load will always be significantly slower than future data entry form loads.
