Initiating multiple transfers
With the Transfer application you can have multiple transfers occurring
simultaneously. However, most device-types have a limit as to how many concurrent
transfers the device can support. Generally the limit is four transfers per server. Some
devices, such as archive devices, have a limit that is lower. Be aware of these limits
as you initiate transfers. Once the limit of concurrent transfers is reached on a device,
one of the following occurs, depending on the type of transfer and the type of device:
• Additional transfers are added to a queue of transfers and become pending
transfers.
• FTP transfer requests that are not queued can fail. A “System out of resources”
message is displayed.
Refer to “Managing transfers” on page 56 for more information on pending transfers.
You can initiate multiple transfers in the following ways:
• Select multiple assets on one device as the source for a transfer. Each source asset
selected becomes an individual transfer.
• Initiate a transfer as in the preceding procedure “Initiating a transfer” , and then
while that transfer is underway, initiate one or more additional transfers.
Using the Transfer Information window
The Transfer Information window is at the bottom of the Transfer application
interface. This window allows you to manage current transfers, to manage pending
transfers, and to view a list of completed transfers.
