Opened: Jun 28, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Huge policies with 10^3 items are impossible to import, export and copy.

Impact

Import, export and copy are abandoned or fail due to out of memory condition.

Conditions

When access policy has 1000+ entires.

Workaround

Use ng_export, ng_import and ng_profile rather than UI to import/export.

Fix Information

Ng_export speed has been improved 5 times ng_import and ng_profile are working 50 times faster because of avoiding denormalisation and optimisation ng_export is still should be used from the console.
