Hi Arjun,

Not really - DataPort is DataPort.

Strategies I've used in the past:

- Run Multiples (DataPort A runs from Search A, DataPort B runs from Search B) --> At the end then combine the multiple output files

- Use Print Merge using a similar strategy to use multiple CM clients to run different parts of the search at the same time (only really works with no electronic export)

- Export using VBA, C# or Powershell -> These can allow 'multi threading' to take place, e.g. First fetch the URIs, break into batches of 500, then loop through multiple database connections at the same time (4 running at once)

Each of these can be more difficult than the last depending on what exactly you are trying to do, how quickly you need to 'dump out' the files, and existing skillset.

One strategy I've sometimes used for exports that include electronic, is do a metadata export using one method, and fetch the electronic documents using an alternate method (robocopy from the document store direct) - That doesn't always work though depending on security setup / architecture which may not allow direct access to the document store.
