Brian, I am not sure I noticed any performance hit after the integration. The integration compares the definition files when exported and imported to ClearCase so I'm not sure there should be any impact on performance. I didn't notice any significant impact at least.. Cheers Joe D'Souza -O

One of the problem with using the Request ID to change on a nightly basis, is that you have to cache the definitions on a nightly basis just after the Escalation to set the prefix is run. So basically this would lead to a slight nightly overhead everytime you cycle the definition cache by running a

Removing indexes would speed up the process, no matter you are doing it from AR System or database. You can rebuild them later. If you are doing it from database, one way would be to copy tables DDL statement, drop the table and rebuild it. In case you want to preserve any data, you can selecti

Your firewall is probably using state tracking to track which machines are allowed to talk with one another and the timeouts associated with state tracking are configured to time out after x seconds of inactivity. Since many of the connections between the db and the arserver are idle at night, the
