Decision Center
Better performance from improved database schema
Improvements to the Decision Center
database schema deliver better performance, especially during merge operations. To benefit from

Connect authentication feature.

Using parallel processing to improve performance for building rulesets
Building a ruleset can draw heavily on machine resources because, for example, every rule
artifact must be retrieved and compiled. Although the compiled rules are cached, this compilation
process is CPU intensive, and archiving all the rule artifacts is done in memory. Use the testSuite
thread pool to manage parallel processing to improve your performance.

decision service, and delete a test report of a given test report ID. They are in the

billing information, and does not include artifacts in the recycle bin or the smart views in the
