Session 2,763 is the Producer session which remains in an Idlewait state
Session 2,763 is the Producer session which remains in an Idlewait state
because it obtains a list of file information from the TSM server for the
files that have previously been backed up for this client and places them in
memory on the client machine. It places this list of files in memory for
those items that need to be sent to the TSM server and for existing files,
the include/exclude list is also checked. It remains in this state until it
sends backup statistics to server letting the user know whether or not it
was successful or a failure.

Session 2,764 is the Consumer session which fluctuates between each state
that sends the files to the TSM server for backup or to be marked inactive
if they no longer exist on the client machine.
