IBM Platform Symphony 6

IBM Platform Symphony 6.1.1 Interim Fix 237618 Readme File

Abstract

Currently, on dashboard and application pages, the GUI triggers a refresh every refresh interval, regardless of whether the previous refresh has finished. This leads to a fast GUI thread increase if there is one thread that is slow responding. In this fix, the GUI triggers a refresh only after the previous refresh has finished, reducing the thread increase rate.

Description

When there is a request for an application or session list and there is a slow response on dashboard and application pages, the GUI triggers many new requests every refresh interval, regardless of whether the previous refresh has finished. This leads to a fast GUI thread increase.

After applying this fix, the GUI will trigger the next request only when the first request is finished, regardless of whether there is a slow response on dashboard and application pages. This reduces the thread increase rate.

This fix applies only to Linux 64-bit hosts.
