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).
