Re: [Networker] new question with savepnpc

Hmm nice solution, but building on this...

Why can't you just set the priority of the cloned client to 1, and set
the group paralellism to 1...  Then your savepnpc client would run
first...

Next you need to ensure that the savepnpc runs successfully before
running the nsrsqlsv..  isn't there an option to abort the group on a
client failure, anyone?
