| Advisor |
Procedures analyze tables to recommend the best map for each table. The recommendations can optionally be customized and used as input for the Mover. |

Procedures redistribute the data for a specified list of tables based on new maps. Mover can use multiple worker sessions to achieve the desired level of concurrency. One manager session schedules the execution of groups of related actions and coordinates the worker sessions. |
