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.

BUG-915 Limit the size of text field in document/item


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.

  • Web Services

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-1271 Filters - Multi-select option displays with default set on Add/Edit filters  

Item Types that contain a multi-select field will use the configured picklist default value in the filter the first time the filter is edited after adding the new field or when adding a new filter.

  1. Create a new filter and save.
  2. Edit the Item Type and add a new multi-select field.
  3. Update the default value for the pick list used in the new field.
  4. Return to the project and check the filter. It should work correctly.
  5. Edit the filter and click on Apply. Should have different results.  Scroll down and see that the new multi-select field is pre-populated with the pick list default value.

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.

BUG-1252 Item Relationships Default Settings Front-End Cache Issue (#696)  


On the default relate settings popup on the relationships tab of an item, changing values and clicking "Close" saves the changes, but only on the front end.  That is, if you change the default from Downstream to Upstream, and click "Close", then relate an item, it will still be Downstream.  If you open the panel back up, Upstream is still checked.  Now click Save, and relate another item.  This item will be Upstream.
