Hi Joni,

I had no knowledge of the restore requirement, so my suggestion was merely
to limit the number of option settings to one (RESOURCEUTILIZATION),
rather than two (MAXNUMMP and RESOURCEUTILIZATION). But you are correct,
setting the RESOURCEUTILIZATION 1 would limit you to one restore session.

Regards,

Andy

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