Slowness issue in executing autorep -G

Products

• CA Workload Automation AE

Issue/Introduction

autorep commands have become slow when dealing with global variables.

A restart of the application server resolved the issue.

Why did this occur?

Environment

Release : 12.0

Resolution

To enable the debug for the application server
1)adjust the ISDBGACTIV in the %AUTOUSER%\config.%AUTOSERV% file to be
 ISDBGACTIV=LIGHT,DBQUERY,SEC
2)Save the file
3)pause and resume the service CA Workload Automation AE Application Server (or "kill -hup <pid>" on linux/unix)
4)run an autorep -G ALL 
5)see %AUTOUSER%\out\as_server.%AUTOSERV% to confirm you see the autorep call come in and the additional debugging.

To disable the debug for the application server
1)adjust the ISDBGACTIV in the %AUTOUSER%\config.%AUTOSERV% file to be
 ISDBGACTIV=OFF
2)Save the file
3)pause and resume the service CA Workload Automation AE Application Server (or "kill -hup <pid>" on linux/unix)

 

If/When the slowness is seen again:

Enable debug
Confirm it is writting the additional debug information to the log
Encounter the slowness again
Stop and restart (not puase and resume) the application server to get it working fast again.
Confirm after the restart it is fast again.
Disable debug
Provide the %AUTOUSER%\out\as_server.%AUTOSERV% file to support for review.
This way the log should contain both fast and slower responses while in debug so they can be compared.
