Problem Note 47137: Performance might be slow when running the DI_Export_Sales_Forecast job
 |  |  |  |  |
Performance might be slow when running the DI_Export_Sales_Forecast job in SAS® Promotion Optimization or SAS® Regular Price Optimization. The performance is slow because problems for parallel processing are currently subdivided at the share group level.
There is no workaround available.
Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
Once the hot fix is installed, a new parameter called etlp_use_model_group_lvl is available. This parameter specifies whether to subdivide a problem for parallel processing at the model group level or at the share group level. If this parameter does not exist in the JOB_PARAM table, then the parameter is created the first time you run the DI_Export_Sales_Forecast job. Below are possible values for the etlp_use_model_group_lvl parameter:
1 = Subdivide at the model group level
The default value is 0.
