Adjust Cost Item Entries batch job (795) is taking more than weekend hours (38 hours) to execute and we cannot run this batch during working days due to table lock error?:

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Now system has to adjust cost for total of
183,922 item records
2,173,866 Avg. Cost Adjmt. Entry Point records
8,867,151 value entry records
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Out of above total, we selected inventory posting group “LUBE” which comprises
359 item records
181,530 Avg. Cost Adjmt. Entry Point records
1,259,046 value entry records
We started running the report on 10-apr-2015 1 PM and it was running till 11-apr-2015 4 PM and suddenly it got rolled back. So, it run for around 27 hours
It almost took our week end but did not complete.
However when we did try for 10 items, it completed in approximately 5 hours.
Due to “table lock” error, we are able to run this batch during working days (Sun-Friday). That means we can run only from Friday 6 P.M. to Sunday 8 A.M. (approximately 38 hours).
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
All of the above, this batch job is taking long time to execute. Besides following workarounds
(1) Running adjust cost item entries for item in small buckets (let’s say 100 instead of 359 at a time)
(2) Running Adjust-Cost Item Entries first (without cost post to GL) and secondly running Post Inventory Cost to G/L (1002).
Is there any other ways to increase performance of these batch jobs?
