Slow harmonization when using wildcard in MarkLogic

Question

I am harmonizing documents in MarkLogic that completes within 26 mins without the snippets of wildcard code not being executed (commented out). When I execute the code below, the harmonization time is completed in a much longer time, 1 hour and 50 mins.

This snippet of code is my attempt of translating the SQL code below:

DECLARE @GETPRODLOSS decimal(18,2)
IF @ASSETNUMBER = NULL
    SET @GETPRODLOSS = NULL
ELSE
    SELECT @GETPRODLOSS = CONVERT(decimal(18,2), SUM(GLU/100)) 
        FROM AccountLedgerTable 
        WHERE GLDCT = 'MU' AND 
        GLSBLT = 'W' AND 
        LTRIM(SUBSTRING(GLASID,2,25)) LIKE concat('%',@assetNumber) AND 
        GLSBL LIKE concat('%',@workOrder) 
        GROUP BY GLANI
    RETURN(@GETPRODLOSS)
END

I wonder why it is taking that long to execute. Below is the equivalent javascript code snippets for this in MarkLogic:

function getAffectedProduction(assetNumber, workOrder) {
  let accountLedger =  cts.search(cts.andQuery([
     cts.collectionQuery("JDEdwards"),
     cts.collectionQuery("JDEAccountLedger"),
     cts.elementWordQuery(fn.QName("http://www.example.com/ads/JDEdwards/document","GLDCT"), "MU"),
     cts.elementWordQuery(fn.QName("http://www.example.com/ads/JDEdwards/document","GLSBLT"), 'W'),
     cts.elementWordQuery(fn.QName("http://www.example.com/ads/JDEdwards/document","GLASID"), fn.concat("*", assetNumber), "wildcarded"),
     cts.elementWordQuery(fn.QName("http://www.example.com/ads/JDEdwards/document","GLSBL"), fn.concat("*", workOrder), "wildcarded")
   ]))


   let affectedProduction = new Number();

   if(fn.count(accountLedger) <= 0) return "";

   affectedProduction = 0;

   let docXML = new String();
   for (const item of accountLedger) {
    
     affectedProduction += fn.number(`${fn.normalizeSpace(hl.elementText(item, "GLU"))}`);

   }

   return fn.string(fn.abs(affectedProduction/100));

 }

Note: I have setup element range index for elements GLDCT, GLSBLT, GLASID, GLSBL

Is there something wrong with my code? Or is there an admin interface setting I need to turn on when using wildcards?

Take a look at MarkLogic's recommended wildcard index settings. I would also set your cts.search call to run as unfiltered once you have followed the recommendations.
