Our DBA's have scripts that backup their Oracle archive logs.
It causes us pain.

(AIX 7.1 with BA clients 6.4 and up)

Their scripts run from cron every few minutes.
If it finds archive logs, it processes as below:

  For each archive log (individual log file)
    run dsmc on the log file
    check dsmc output for whether it worked or failed
    delete the log file if backup worked

So they process the log files one at a time on separate dsmc cmds.

Now, if there are a bunch of files (30, 40, 100, or multiple 100's), it kicks 
into high
gear and runs up to 8 dsmc cmds in parallel.

What I'd like to know is, if they were to put all
the log file names into a filelist, and run ONE dsmc cmd
specifying the filelist along with -resourceutilization=10,
will dsmc parallel some number of files concurrently back to
the TSM server?


The DBA's really, really want to get the archive logs
off the server and into TSM ASAP!  We have big Oracle
servers that do several thousand TSM session per day
with this processing.


Note:  all log files are in the same filesystem
