Hi Jena,

Do you use tomcat?
Have a look at this thread:

Thanks yana. I just found something interesting. After analysing this above script, i tried to find out why this query is taking longer time and found that some of the columns are not being indexed in mysql. I added index to these and it helps me a lot and drastically improved my task list loading time. Hopefully someone get help with this.

Table : ACT_RU_AUTHORIZATION
Columns:
TYPE_
USER_ID_
RESOURCE_TYPE_
PERMS_

Table : ACT_RE_PROCDEF
Column: KEY_

Table: ACT_RU_TASK
Column: SUSPENSE_STATE_

HI @Jena_Sthitaprajna we have a similar issue just the only difference is we have around 500k running instances which is causing an indefinite lag for the above query. Apart from the indexes you have added is there any other opitimizations you did for the above query.

Hi @Jena_Sthitaprajna ,

Did you add composite keys / Multi-column indexes to the ACT_RU_AUTHORIZATION table or are they separate?
