    IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time or does not align with the current multi-year strategy. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the date of submission. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.

    Here is one possible way to accomplish this use case:

    1. Get the list of Oracle files

    2. Query the archive with "-detail" option. Example: dsmc q arch /orabase/AIDWPH01_02/ -detail
    Example output looks like this:
    .
    .
    Size Archive Date - Time File - Expires on - Description
    ---- ------------------- -------------------------------

    Compression Type: None Encryption Type: None Client-deduplicated: NO
    ACL Size: 0 Media Class: Fixed Volume ID: 0015 Restore Order: 00000000-0000013F-00000000-00000000

    3. Order the files by volume and ordering number

    4. Start one retrieve operation per volume
