  • 1.  DX PM Groups doubts

    Posted Sep 16, 2021 11:56 AM
    Hello,

    Some doubts regarding DX PM Groups:

    1. Is there any limitation in the "number" of groups that can be created in DX PM?
    2. Is there any limitation in terms of the rules that can be created in the groups to capture items? (number, complexity..)
    3. How does group rules affect DX PM performance?
    4. Is there any way to export DX PM groups (hierarchy and rules)?

    Can you help clarify?

    Thank you.

    BR

    1. There is no limitation on number of groups, but the more groups and hierarchy there is, the longer it may take to load group tree, or determine complete parent->child->child->etc members for say Inventory views.

    2. Yes, there is a UI limit on rules, conditions, sub-rules, values.  See below.

    Max Rules per group = 50  Override by adding to netqosportal.general:  "RuleEditor.MaxRulesPerGroup"
    Max Conditions per rule = 50  Override by adding to netqosportal.general: "RuleEditor.MaxConditionsPerRule"
    Max sub-rules per rule = 20  Override by adding to netqosportal.general: "RuleEditor.MaxSubRulesPerRule"
    Max Values per Condition = 50  Override by adding to netqosportal.general: "RuleEditor.MaxOrValuesInCondition"

    3. Yes, the more values/rules/conditions you have, the more complicated the MySQL query gets.  Then it comes down to the speed of your MySQL server (CPU/memory/disk), and scale of DB.

    4. Yes, using http://PC:8181/pc/center/rest/groups/documentation to see the endpoints and one is getting the structure/rules.
         GET http://PC:8181/pc/center/webservice/groups/groupItemId/1  will get XML for the entire All Groups and down.
