Issue

After installing RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.1.0 (technically 7.1_P01) on WebSphere, then navigating to the Server Nodes tab to check status of the servers, if only one application server is running,the view shows up immediately. 

When both server nodes are started, the table view hangs for a very long time and eventually returns the state of the servers.
 

• With two server nodes online, the Server Nodes tab hangs with the message Loading Data, as shown:

• With one server node online, the Server Nodes tab loads correctly:
