As long as the consumer thread (the one sending the backup data) is
actually moving data (i.e. bytes received is increasing), then yes, this
is normal. As I said earlier, once the consumer is finished (all the data
has been backed up), then both threads will shut down, and terminate their
sessions with the TSM server.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

What I wanted to know was is it is normal for idle session to scan which

And still I see data xfer on recv state session.
