Additional Information
During Split/Move operations, the DFS creates a log of files that it needs to transfer at a later point of time .
DFS captures these changes in a log file (NW location sys:\\etc\\volmn\\$DFS_<operationID>.log or .py).
"Volmn help" will display the available volmn commandline parameters. Volmn status will show the operationID for the current jobs.
