Problem Short description Description Steps to reproduce
Platform Security

PRB674503

 Performance degradation when using GlideRecordSecure when the record being queried contains fields such as variables, audio Performance degradation occurs while using GlideRecordSecure when the record being queried contains fields such as variables, audio, userImage, currency, and possibly other fields.
  1. Create a new table.
  2. Add several currency fields to it, along with other dummy fields (e.g. name, description).
  3. Create an entry under sys_relationship table:
    • Applies to table is incident
    • Queries from table is the new table created in step 1
  4. Add a query such as 
    current.addQuery('<SOME_FIELD_IN_THE_NEW_TABLE>',
<SOME_VALUE_THAT_MATCHES_A_LOT_OF_RECORDS>);
  5. Add many records to the new table.
  6. Create a list_edit ACL on the new table, and add a condition and a query using some fields on the table.
When you open an existing incident, note that the AJAX call to fetch the records under the new embedded list is taking a lot of time to get the response back.

Enable SQL debugging. Note that for every currency field under every record under the new embedded list, a GlideRecord query is being made when getSpecificDisplayValue is done.
