Hi Andy!

I guess I already knew the answer, but was wondering if there is a way to
force an archive of multiple files to transfer through 1 session.  We had
been looking at lan-free and we were seeing multiple (2) tape mounts
starting for single archive jobs.  I guess I could specify maxnummp 1 and
then do a resourceutilization 2, but then that limits the clients ability
to send their data through more sessions and complete their archive more
efficiently.  To me I would want the data transferred more quickly, but in
this case the request has been to keep it to 1 transfer session.   In a
nutshell, I don't know why they want to do it, but since they requested it
I thought I would ask...  Thanks again!

I don't understand the question. What specifically is meant by "one
session per file"? And why is the user concerned with the number of
sessions? You can set RESOURCEUTILIZATION to 1, maybe that is what your
user is looking for.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
