BANK HAPOALIM LTD

The Customer developed user-written rules to be tested with Code Review and wish to run them all in a Batch process on the zSystem:
They used the provided JCL proc AKGCR to run the code review.
The job was successful but the elapsed time was long, approx 2 minutes elapsed time with approx 0.15 seconds CPU.


It seems that the main reason for the long response time is that before Code Review is executed there is a long setup procedure which includes Eclipse invocation (without the GUI interface) and JVM.

The request consists in an option to do all of the setup once, including Eclipse and JVM invocation. Subsequently each instance of background Code Review will be performed in relation to the
initial setup environment.

The aim is to have response time for each instance, limited to only what is really needed to perform Code Review.


Or to have a way of reducing the response time for each instance of background Code Review down to milliseconds.

    This change is made to allow users to specify a configuration area to cache the configuration metadata that the code review previously generated on each run.

    To use this, the user must specify the following in the AKG_JAVAOPTS card:
    -Dosgi.configuration.area=

    This will cause the batch code review to store the configuration information in the specified Unix path so it can be re-used.
    The first time you run with this option, the performance will be the same as before. However, subsequent runs where the same configuration area is specified should be faster, since it is cached in that location.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
