    Accessing the configuration options which control the
    Read-Only Subject Cache and Security Attribute Propagation
    when enabled were costly, thus performance
    and scalability decrease.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Internal code changes were made to cache and reduce the cost
    of determining behavior for the Read-Only Subject Cache and
    Security Attribute Propagation functions, thus improving the
    performance.
    
    APAR PK79901 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
    Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.3 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0
    for z/OS.
