ODBR multi processor enhancement for move & validation

Currently ODBR can run in only one processor in a multi processor complex. In our largest complex (PSS) we currently have 5.5 billion records. We would like to reorganize this database in a reasonable number of sessions. That will entail moving and validating large number of records in each session.

From our past experience we believe that we need ODBR to run in multi processors to accomplish this.
The TPFUG Database Tools Task force requirements (attached) does have multi processor requirement.

    Based on priorities, resources and the voting results in the TPFUG ballot, IBM does not intend to implement this in the foreseeable future.
