On environments with a huge amount of Users defined, like 120K Users, every time you connect to the Client 0 - Administration the User list is loaded and this operation takes almost 2 minutes.
When executing directly the request in the database for obtaining the 120K users, this can be done in sqlplus in only 1 second.
Automation Engine 21.x, 24.x
The reason why it takes so long to display the list in AWI is because the AE processes perform a select bulk query requesting only 50 elements to be fetched at a time, so this whole operation repeats 2400 times so in the end this takes 2 minutes.
