Changing Timefinder Options file
Has anyone changed an options in the Timefinder options file? Specifically, the SYMAPI_DEFAULT_BCV_ESTABLISH_TYPE option. We are seeing a frame performance hit when an establish kicks off. We currently are using the default PARALLEL.
We are just wondering what the ramifications would be to change that to SERIAL.
Thanks.

I hope that the following excerpt from Solution Enabler manuals may be of help.
SINGULAR: devices are established one at a time. The next device will not be established until the previous device has been established.
SERIAL: devices are passed to the Symmetrix array as fast as they can be accepted.
PARALLEL: devices are passed in parallel to the servicing DA directors. SYMAPI ensures that no more than one establish per the servicing DA will be outstanding at any one time.

but SERIAL sounds like not limited to the one est per servicing DA director.
