Issue/Introduction

During Identity Manager startup, there is a long delay between steps 4 and 5. Depending on the size of the environment (number of screens / tasks / tabs etc) - this could take quite a while

Environment

Identity Manager 14.x

Resolution

In order to troubleshoot where time is spent, we need to configure enhanced logging to be in place during startup. This can be done by adjusting the relevant categories in the file "log4j_<ApplicationServer.properties>" located in the deployed IM .ear location, for example E:\wildfly-8.2.1.Final\standalone\deployments\iam_im.ear\config\com\netegrity\config\log4j_jboss.properties and set

log4j.category.ims.jdbc=DEBUG

This will remain in place for each subsequent restart, till changed.

With the above settings in place, should be waiting for startup process to complete, then search for the following entries (in separate searches):

- Obj type:
- Finished loading cache for

Search results should look similar to

When certain object load time takes long, we need to look into possible index settings we can apply, to speed up the process
