What are some RTC 3.0.1.1 Customization and Performance Considerations?

Hello,
I am creating a custom work item in RTC 3.0.1.1 that has many attributes. I'm talking 400+. What are the performance implications of this mammoth work item? Is it generally not recommended to have something like this or are there minimum hardware requirements that would support the task? Does RTC not guarantee performance after a certain number of attributes?
Any links or input would be great.
Thanks!
Andrew

Hello Andrew
Before you go down that path of creating a workitem type with 400+ attributes, please read this guidance on the infocenter link below. I would want to alert you on this.
Attention: Each work item type can support up to 100 custom attributes.
A point to note is that this is not an enforced limitation in RTC. But this can increase the risk of process template corruption. I received this feedback from the Rational Support when my project area got corrupt.

Also there is a limit on the number of custom attributes that can be added to a project area's process template. That figure is 500. Refer to comment #7 on this this Jazz.net WI that talks of that:

Good Luck!!

Andrew, this help topic contains general performance considerations, with links to other useful information.
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_max_perf.html Here's the link to the CLM 4.0 Sizing guide, which covers performance in more detail. There are a number of considerations about artifact size (though nothing about number of attributes). https://jazz.net/library/article/814 |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

I'm not aware of any performance issues (which doesn't mean there aren't any :-), but I am concerned about usability. Is it reasonable to expect a human to fill out (or read) 400 attributes? Or are these machine-generated/maintained attributes?
