The ORACLE RMAN script controls this.  There will be some statements
that begin like "allocate channel t1 ...".  The number of channels allocated
is the number of sessions established during the backup.

Probably an easy one for most...

What controls the number of TDP for Oracle Sessions that get spawned during an 
Oracle backup?  How can you throttle back or increase?  Where can i read about 
recommendations with respect to number of
sessions and amount of memory used on client?  I'm relatively new to TDP for 
Oracle... any help would be appreciated.

Regards, Joe
