BUG-392 On items with more than 1000 relationships, relate function is slow to open and close

Proposed solution for large volumes of relationships is to improve performance, limit initial number of relationships returned and display a loading indicator.

Suggested Work Around
Utilize a default relationship filter to limit the number of relationships returned.

BUG-928 Issues with indexing getting out-of-sync

Some users have experienced issues with the indexing getting out-of-sync and they need to manually re-index. Sometimes a clean re-index is required to fix the issue.  Some of the activities which seem to possibly triggering these indexing issues are:
  • Importing a backup data file (usually during migration)
  • Importing Word or CSV files

BUG-1216 Item Id - when set to editable the system overwrites value on creation of new Item
  1. Configure Project -> Settings -> Make Item Id editable.
  2. Create a new Item.
  3. Enter in a custom Item Id, Save and Commit.
  4. Check the read only version and notice that the default Item Id created by the system has been used.
  5. Edit the Item and update the Item Id again and Save.
  6. Check the read only version and notice that your Item Id has persisted.
The issue appears to be around the database's need for a value and the need to update the insert such that is can take a value vs. always inserting.

BUG-1203 Research impact of using wildcards at the beginning of search criteria

Currently Lucene (Contour's embedded search engine) does not support using wild cards at the beginning of a string search. This can be overwritten but it comes with a performance loss.

Jama will need to first determine the performance impact before implementing.

Users pasting or importing large documents (typically MS Word) into a Contour rich text field that exceeds 100 MB of data causes performance issues and display issues.  Add a system property that defines the maximum length for these fields.

If possible, ensure that user is notified that not all their data was captured.

BUG-1234 Web services update appears to affect online users
While doing a submission of ~200 items via the Web Services API, another person (in a different geographic location) was doing live edits to unrelated items. Only the edits done  prior to the start of the automated submission were captured by the system; the rest of his edits were lost. The evententry table shows his login, his first edit, and then the flood of API submissions. No other edit activity is shown by the online user.

BUG-896 Automate the outline numbering / global sorting routine
Currently the process of resorting or updating the outline numbering and global sort order is performed manually.  When new items are added to a set, they will have several values (in the database) that are null until the "update headings" button or a report that calls this routine is run.  It would be beneficial to have Contour handle the sorting and reordering automatically with new items assigned values corresponding to their location.  This is mainly to simplify usage and for reporting purposes.
