GRC RAR Simulate issue

Question

Folks,  I wonder if you can help...
We are running GRC 5.3 and I'm currently validating RAR.  I have just tried to test the 'Simulate' functionality in User Level Risk Analysis but get a problem: 
I am trying to test Action Level Simulation and therefore want to enter a transaction in the 'Value' field - (in order to include or exclude the transaction from the analysis), when I click on the selection icon at the side of the Value field to enter the search screen -I can then select the system I need to search, but then when I perform an unrestricted search ( to return all possible values of transactions).  I get a total of 22000 values returned stopping at transactions beginning with M* - NOT the expected amount of some 90000 transactions in our system.
I have performed a download/upload of the Static text and SU24 Objects into the GRC system as part of the post installation steps  and the text files produced show all the transactions objects in the system.  Is there anything else I need to do in order to configure GRC to see all the transactions.
your help will be most appreciated.

Hello Wei,
Here are responses to your queries:
1. When running a RAR incremental role report with 4 rulesets, we encounter a status error on some roles, why is the status showing error while others are complete?
-> When you run batch risk analysis system runs analysis on multiple roles/users/profiles. Whenever it encounters error for one of the object (role/user/profile), system goes on to next object in sequence and does not stop there. This way risk analysis does not stop if you error for a particular object and tries to complete as much as it can. Now the reason for error on some of the objects can be found later. Try to run risk analysis on that particular object only which failed and then try to troubleshoot the problem with it. check the logs after you run on that particular object.
2. And also, from 0 - 19% seems to be quite fast, but after that it is running very slow, and i see the CPU comp and Memory uti is very high, any idea what might be the cause?
-> The time taken to perform risk analysis on objects may vary depending upon the number of auth. objects available with the object. If A role has 30 objects and B role has 2000 then system will take different amonut time to run risk analysis on each one of them. risk analysis on A will complete faster than that of B. In addition to that, since you ar using 4 rulesets , system tries to analysis the objects for all the rulesets. This will increase the risk analysis time considerably.
