Error description
If your catalog is very large, preprocess and buildindex can 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.
