Issue
Certain rule types such as the User Access rule type have a Test button that allows you to test the scope of the rule before running the actual rule (Rules > Definitions > {Rule Name} > Test.) In some situations performance issues may occur when testing rules.

The symptoms may be general slowness of the system or timeouts in the browser sessions.

The following messages may be logged in the aveksaServer.log:

06/17/2019 12:52:32.434 INFO (default task-194) [com.aveksa.server.db.persistence.PersistenceServiceProvider] executeCallableStatement

Cause
The Test feature runs a query in the background.  When it is running, it displays the message:
 
Testing rule... this may take some time depending on the volume of data

while the query is running. The query will continue to run even if the browser is closed. If the operation does not complete within a reasonable time, users may be tempted to refresh the browser and hit the Test button again. If the Test is run multiple times, this may cause a performance issue or database deadlocks due to the same query running more than once. 

This is a known issue in the following versions and reported in engineering ticket ACM-98992:
  • RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.1.0
  • RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.1.1
 
Resolution
This issue is resolved in the following RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle versions and/or patch levels:
  • RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.1.1 P04
  • RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.2

The fix prevents multiple rule test runs from running at the same time. In addition, rule test results are cleaned up after each test run which makes subsequent test runs much faster. 
 
Workaround
Avoid pressing the rule Test button more than once or testing the same rule before the previous test has completed.
