3.4.b user usages take 20 minutes on startup.

[bnordgren]

I'm using the default configuration that comes with 3.4.b (custom install), more or less. My "initial content" comes from our existing 3.3g installation and has 45000+ users and a moderate amount of content. Every time I start Tomcat, I wait 20 minutes for Alfresco to recalculate the user usages. Worse, after 20 minutes it finds that there's nothing to be done.

Is there anything I can do to speed this up? 3.2r2 and 3.3g didn't do this.

Based on your details this sounds like a regression. Can you please log in JIRA (https://issues.alfresco.com) ?

If you do not currently make use of user usages (or quotas) then you should be able to disable them by editing "alfresco-global.properties"

system.usages.enabled=false
‍‍‍

although please bear in mind that if you do decide to re-enable them then they will need to be re-calculated (for each user).

Regards,

Yowsa. I turned off system.usages.enabled. Probably a mistake.

It took the same 20 minutes to decide what to do, but this time it decided that it needed to clear ~42000 users. It's now 2 hours into the "clearing" process and its not done yet. To anyone else out there having this same problem, I'd recommend just being happy with the twenty minutes.

Current time is 11:45 by this system's clock.

Final time 3.5+ hours:

09:24:12,593 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.usage.UserUsageTrackingComponent] Disabled  - clear non-missing user usages …
09:42:30,031 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.usage.UserUsageTrackingComponent] Found 42438 users to clear
13:18:40,781 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.usage.UserUsageTrackingComponent] … cleared non-missing usages for 42438 users

Hopefully now I'll be back down to 20 minutes.

Sorry about that. I've updated the JIRA with a possible workaround and a couple of questions … ?

Thanks,
Jan
