  take a very long time.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If your catalog is very large, preprocess and buildindex can
  take a very long time.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR introduces sharding to preprocess/buildindex, to split
   up buildindex/preprocess into multiple parallel processes (key
  split on catentry_id). Each preprocess shard has it's own set of
   temporary preprocess tables, and each buildindex shard is it's
  own separate index. At the end of buildindex, a 'merge' command
  is run to combine the shards into one final index. Please refer
  to the additional steps in the APAR readme for setting up
  sharding and merging.
