Symptoms
How can I improve performance when opening Notification Properties from the Global Console interface?How can I enable the Fetch Details button for Notification Properties in Smarts SAM?Slow response when opening Notification Properties from the Global Console interface
Cause
The Notification Properties for each notification are being retrieved from the Global Manager and from all the underlying domains. This happens because the Fetch Local Notification Properties parameter is set to FALSE. The Fetch Local Notification Properties parameter purpose and functionThe Fetch Local Notification Properties parameter controls the retrieval of properties for a particular notification upon request by a client application. When this parameter is set to FALSE, properties for each notification are always retrieved from the Global Manager and from all the underlying domains. This can greatly increase the time required to complete the retrieval operation. When this parameter is set to TRUE and you open Notification Properties for a notification, properties are retrieved initially only from the local SAM Global Manager, and the Fetch Details button is enabled. Clicking the Fetch Details button allows you to access the Details tab containing the details for a notification from underlying domains only when you want those details.
