Improving provisioning performance

The User Management Interface and InForm applications are optimized for combining certain types of provisioning operations. For example, bulk provisioning operations take place prior to the study going live. The most common provisioning operations are creating groups (such as site, signature, or rights groups), creating users, and adding users to groups.

To limit the impact on study performance, Oracle recommends minimizing the number of calls to the User Management Interface. You can combine multiple smaller operations into one operation. For example, to add 50 users to 200 sites, Oracle recommends the following sequence of operations:

  1. Create 200 sites using PutProvisioningData or PutProvisioningDataAndGetIdentifierSets. Sites can be created in small batches or one at a time.
  2. Create 50 users using PutProvisioningData or PutProvisioningDataAndGetIdentifierSets. Users can be created in small batches or one at a time.
  3. After the users and sites are successfully created, associate each user with multiple sites by combining the operations into one single call to the User Management Interface.
