autorep command very slow

Products

Issue/Introduction

WAAE CLI commands are slow to respond.

Environment

Release: WAAE 11.3.6, 12.0 12.0 SP1 12.1
Component:

Cause

In EEM-enabled instances, the Application Server keeps a local cache of EEM policies in memory. If this cache becomes stale, it can cause intermittent performance issues with autorep. This could sometimes lead to unexpected access denies for the user who has valid access to the objects in EEM.

Resolution

Add the following setting in $AUTOUSER/autosys.sh.<hostname>: 

AS_IAM_CACHE_UPDATE=300; export AS_IAM_CACHE_UPDATE 

 

Restart the Application Server service

The parameter AS_IAM_CACHE_UPDATE sets the interval (in seconds) for the Application Server to update its EEM cache.
