SYMPTOMS

When you create a Virtual Catalog from a large number of base catalogs, the process to retrieve products from the Virtual Catalog runs slowly. Also, the ASP might time out.

CAUSE

Rebuild and search functions slow down when you increase the number of base catalogs.

WORKAROUND

To work around the problem, select the lowest number of base catalogs when you create a Virtual Catalog.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
