Multithreaded Refresh for iSeries

Currently when a refresh occurs in iSeries to DS_FF or any other DB  it uses the native method to do the refresh with single threaded - This can be improved by using the JDBC method where they should be able to use multithreaded.  In the iSeries Current OS version , I have seen the refresh or loading the tables  with multiple threads.

    We have the information needed. Given that workarounds exist, while this item is valid and will be considered in our planning, it is a low priority item at this time.

    Currently client is using our Refresh process to load the tables which is taking up to 10 to15 days to complete 20TB of historical data. If we introduce the Multithreading using JDBC or any other elements will give our tool as a all in all process and faster load and does not have tpo keep the journals for a longer period thus taking up the space.
