Job(Update Earned Value and Cost Totals) Performance in 16.0.2

Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise
• Clarity PPM SaaS

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to 16.0.2, the job(Update Earned Value and Cost Totals) is running slow. It takes 3 minutes for 1 project.

In version 15.8, the job only took under 130 minutes to complete for all active projects.
After upgrading to 16.0.2, at a rate of 1 to 3 minutes for one project, it will take 21 hours to complete.

Notes:
1. Turning off on-the-fly rate matrix extraction does not improve performance.

2. Running the project Action > Update Cost Totals yields same runtime.

 

Cause

This is caused by DE65769 

Resolution

This is fixed in 16.1.0 and has been backported to 16.0.3.1 (patch 1)
