APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Actions concerning EBA files are slow, as for example
  
  On WebSphere ND SL 8.0.0.4 an AIX 6 64 bit
  
  Applications > Business-level applications > [BLA-Name] >
  Deployed
  assets > [EBA-Name]
  
  In this case the response time depends on the size of the EBA
  file:
  
  Small ( 290 kBytes, 20 Bundles) ->  response < 1 sec
  Medium ( 3 MBytes, 73 Bundles) -> response 18 sec
  Large ( 28 MBytes, 416 Bundles) -> response > 5 min (Browser
  timeout)
  
  The problem is that the operation requires disk I/O which can be
  very expensive especially for larger applications.
