In SAS^® Size Profiling, purging Inventory fact data using the %di_maintain_job macro might run longer than expected. The problem occurs when there are many data partitions. The fact-data partition files are purged sequentially, one at time, and not in parallel.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.

After you apply the hot fix, the fact-data partition files are purged in parallel, thus reducing the overall time for the purge jobs.
