The following list includes import elements known to degrade system performance. This list can be used to troubleshoot existing imports, and can also be reviewed prior to creating new imports to prevent performance problems.
For general information on searches, refer to the Advanced Search topic in the Getting Started documentation.
Avoid Inherited Values and Regular Expressions
Advanced searches in the workbench and Web UI should avoid the following options to achieve the recommended performance:
- 'Include Inherited Values' - only use when required.
- 'Regular Expression' - disables database indexing, only use when required.
Avoid Root Hierarchies in Search Below
The 'Search Below' option should be used with caution and only when necessary to achieve the required result. Specifying many root nodes in Web UI searches is specifically not recommended.
For example, use a granular hierarchy node instead of searching the full primary product hierarchy.
