The key to understanding this is to realize that a file Device is virtually identical to a tape device. You can have only one Volume "mounted" at a time on any Device. So, if you have multiple jobs that want to write to the same Volume on any given Device, there is no problem, you just need to get *all* (the 5 different) concurrent directives set. If you want to have multiple jobs writing to the same Device but using different Volumes, then as in the case of a tape drive, subsequent jobs will wait. You can always add more Devices, in which case, you can have different volumes mounted on each device at the same time. > > Silver > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
