Error description

• IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Maintenance job may run much slower
  than expected after applying v10.1.4 build 222 and later. No
  particular errors are observed except the very long "Duration"
  (like more than 10 hours) seen from SPP GUI when the job is
  either "Running" or "Completed". For each policy and job, the
  function cleanupPolicy() is repeatedly called.
