Performance warnings for large MRs and OTSs

Warnings are displayed to users when creating an MR or OTS that is large enough, based on the number of rows, to cause slow performance. Warnings are also displayed when the user opens a large MR or OTS for a date range that may cause slow performance.

There are two levels of warnings that can be displayed based on the size of a given rotation. A standard warning informs users that the size of a rotation or currently selected date range may cause slow performance. A strong warning informs users that the size or date range may produce unusable results. Both warnings may be dismissed by a user to continue working with the rotation.

The size limits that determine if a warning is displayed are a maximum number of rows and a maximum number of weeks to display. The limits can be configured using the Rotation Type maintenance form. The default size limits are set during the database migration. Different default values are set for upgrading customers and for new installations.

These are the default size limits:
Customer type Max rows for warning Max weeks for warning Max rows for strong warning Max weeks for strong warning
Upgrading customer 100 6 300 6
New install customer 100 6 150 6
