Scenario A – Excessive time for a User Event Script
A user event script is taking an excessive amount of time.
Data in SCIS APM
-
The Workflow run times display in a table after you navigate to Action > Graph > Action History Details.
-
Use the links in the Profiler Details column to research an event with an excessive time.
To resolve the scenario:

Review workflows that run with the script to determine if they are the source of excessive runtimes.
-
Determine if the script is from a third-party bundle.
-
If yes, contact the bundle owner and ask if the script is required to run in the SCIS WebApplication or Payment PostBack contexts.
-
If the script is not required in these SCIS contexts, use the Script Deployment page to exclude the script from those contexts.
-
-
Review any customizations specific to your environment for potential problems.
If the customization should not run for SCIS, use the Script Deployment page to exclude the script from running in the SCIS WebApplication or Payment PostBack contexts.
