ALL-IN-1 V2.4
VMS V5.3
Current configuration consists of one mail area, with a very large
SDAF, multiple shared directories spread across several disks.
Question: After creating additional mail areas and associated
directories, does a subsequent run of the BMA physically move files
from the old SDAF and shared directories and evenly distribute across
all open mail areas, providing all configured on the system are open.
Or, does the current mail area remain intact, i.e., no files are moved,
only the profile of existing users is modified to distribute the
population across the mail areas?
Thanks...

BMA distributes users across open mail areas. The task of distributing
messages across available areas and rewriting all the records in the
various SDAFs would be massive and prone to error. Also, remember that
users' DOCDB records store the filenames for shared messages which, in
turn, act as pointers to SDAF records in order to locate the
attributes. So all of the DOCDBs on a system would also have to be
processed! Uuugghhhh...

As SDAF records contain filenames in their attachments pointers, the
task would also involve checking all attachment pointers and
potentially re-writing all these as well!
