Hi,

I have noticed aux copies and such taking longer and longer since either moving to 11.32 or 11.36, can’t tell when exactly this started. But now I see loads of decrypt processes running on the MA’s and TTBOMK we’ve not changed copy settings or anything to say “re-encrypt” data, yet that’s what appears to have happened during the leap from 11.28  to .32 and then .36. I hadn’t spent much time thinking of this until recently and now it’s clear the MA’s are spending loads of cycles apparently re-encrypting stuff during aux copies.

Does anyone know if some fundamental change was made if you had encryption enabled but same strength that would cause so much extra processing to need to be done?

Could it be due to different block sizes on the data paths between the global copy settings?

thanks!

FWIW, now that I look closer at multiple CommCells on 11.36, the advanced tab shows every “global” primary copy set to re-encrypt?? hrm, that seems wrong in many regards. I can’t see this in the release notes but might not be searching the right terms.

What if all we want is preserve? Is preserve the default? Seems wrong to me.
