PH25744: SEARCHING IN METADATA TREE IS NOT FLUID

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Performing a search in a metadata tree in Authoring based on a
  data module, containing a large package, is not fluid. Even when
  you have typed your whole search term, the UI will take
  additional time (~5 seconds) to fully show the search term and
  start searching. The same is working as expected when the
  package is accessed directly in Authoring.

  Configuration Instructions:
  
  To make the search of the source tree more fluid, we added a new
  setting called SourceTreeSearchDelayTime in the file
  DefaultSettings.xml to configure the search delaying time.
  This time is how long our product waits before starting the
  search after the user stops typing characters in the search box.
  
  Note that there will be additional time spent in searching the
  source tree and drawing the results. For example if the delay
  time is set to 1500 milliseconds then it will take a little bit
  longer than 1500 milliseconds to see the results in the metadata
  tree.
  The more characters typed the shorter the additional time.
  
  The file DefaultSettings.xml is located under webcontent\bi\pat
  folder. Open it for editing and look for
  SourceTreeSearchDelayTime. The corresponding entry for it is as
  follows:
  <setting name="SourceTreeSearchDelayTime" defaultValue="300"
  dataType="integer" propType="debug" label="Delay time in
  milliseconds for searching the source tree"/>
  
  The default value is set to 300 milliseconds. Change the value
  of the defaultValue attribute to your preferred optimal time,
  save and close the file.
  Clear the browser cache. The change will take effect when Report
  Studio is restarted.
  
  The optimal time depends on the performance of the computer
  used. There is no upper limit for its value. We recommend trying
  several delay time values between 1000 and 3000 milliseconds
  until a suitable value is found.
