Tuning automatic association features

If you use CQCC_AUTO_ASSOCIATE or CQCC_ASSOC_BATCH_SERIES to automatically determine associations, use the CQCC_RESTRICTIONS_TIMEOUT configuration parameter to limit extra processing during the batch. The timeout value controls the number of seconds that a restrictions check can be reused during CQCC_ASSOC_BATCH_SERIES log processing.

The integration normally rechecks the new associations each time interval by logging into the Rational® ClearQuest® user database and performing a restrictions query. The integration caches the most recent restrictions query results and reuses them for a maximum time before it rechecks them again. After the time is exceeded, a new Rational® ClearQuest® login and restrictions query are performed to ensure that the selected associations are still valid. To delay this login operation and query during batch processing, set the CQCC_RESTRICTIONS_TIMEOUT configuration parameter in the configuration file or the environment variable to an increased number of seconds. To use a timeout of 10 minutes, set the value to 600. For example:

&SetConfigParm("CQCC_RESTRICTIONS_TIMEOUT, 600);

CQCC_RESTRICTIONS_TIMEOUT is set to 300 seconds (5 minutes) by default. The minimum value is 0 (disabled) and the maximum is 1200 (20 minutes).
