Stefano Demiliani ebceff2332 knowledge(performance): add community rules for JIT, locks, and false positives
These articles capture BC-specific mechanics agents still invert: partial-record JIT on writes, Reset clearing SetLoadFields, HttpClient inside write transactions, and batched number series, plus negative guidance that stops over-eager Query and IsEmpty "fixes".

Session-open subscribers must not do I/O

Contributions welcome — open a PR to refine or extend this article.

Description

OnCompanyOpen, OnCompanyOpenCompleted, and System Initialization.OnAfterLogin run while the session is being created. The platform waits until every subscriber returns before the UI, an API call, or a background session can proceed. HttpClient or a heavy FindSet here delays every session type, not just the user who "opened the company". Agents still put warmup sync, license checks, and HTTP probes on these events because they look like an application startup hook.

Best Practice

Keep company-open subscribers to cheap in-memory work: set a flag, enqueue a job-queue entry, or TaskScheduler.CreateTask. Perform HTTP and large SQL after the session is running, in that background work.

See sample: oncompanyopen-subscribers-must-not-do-io.good.al.

Anti Pattern

An OnAfterLogin / OnCompanyOpenCompleted subscriber that calls HttpClient or scans a ledger. Detection signal: HttpClient, FindSet, or CalcFields inside a subscriber bound to those events.
