* It is important that EPIC is turned off in all machines that share the catalog/recorder file, except the machine that is using to move the Recorder file to avoid updates to these files while the update is taking place. Pause all partitions or stop your scheduler to prevent jobs from running and updating the catalog while the MOVE takes place.
