Generalization is an intensive process that requires heavy resources to complete on larger data sets. CTM Release 4 contains workflows for Distributed Generalization which allows you to split your data in to tiles based on a partition feature class, generalize each partition to a smaller scale, and then stitch the features back together into a continuous data set.
Distributed Generalization utilizes ArcGIS Workflow Manager as a queue of jobs, where each child job corresponds to one of the partitions. Included in Production Mapping 10.5 Patch 1, there is a utility to trigger the processes and automatically run each job.
For instructions on how to configure this system, please refer to the Workflow Manager folder in the repository.
