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.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All Users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See Error /Description * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrade to IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1.7 Fix Pack 2 * **************************************************************** 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.
