Using multiple threads for multiple migrations

Using the Multiple-thread options, you can select whether to use multiple threads for multiple migrations. The term thread refers to operating system functionality, allowing programs to break up into two or more independent work units for concurrent execution. Multiple threads allow the execution of other tasks while a migration is in progress, or to do multiple migrations concurrently. If you do not use multiple threads, you can run only one migration at a time.
