rdbmsConversion - Distributed Files

We are migrating our jBase database from AIX to MSSQL Windows. Release R15 TAFC. We are encountering an issue with Distributed Files.
The parameters we set when launching the rdbmsConversion are as follows:

Enter database <XMLMSSQL/XMLDB2/XMLMSSQL> <default=J4> :XMLMSSQL
Enter number of agents to use for process <default=2> :3
Convert file data in ../bnk.data <Y/N> <default=Y> :Y
Convert dict data in ../bnk.dict <Y/N> <default=Y> :Y
Convert jnl/help/arc files <Y/N> <default=Y> :N
Generate Batches for Distributed Files <Y/N> <default=N> :N
Convert stub files to voc table entries <Y/N> <default=N> :Y
Options selected, Continue to scan phase Y/N <default=Y> :Y 

Regardless of the setting for the "Generate Batches for Distributed Files" parameter, whether we set it to Y or N, distributed files are still created, but they end up in different tables: F_TABLE_NAME_n. 
The question is how should we merge these tables F_TABLE_NAME_n into one main table F_TABLE_NAME? And how does the "Generate Batches for Distributed Files" parameter work?

Hi
quoting Temenos info:
Due to the potential for Distributed files to contain millions of items, this option provides the ability to process items from part files in batches of 1,000 ( by default ) items
Basically the RDBMSConversion will create files, containing lists of items, from the Distributed file, if 'Generate Batches for Distributed Files' is selected
The items containing the list of item ids are created in the 'rdbmsConversion/BATCH_' file

'rdbmsBatch' isn't actually doing any 'converting' at this point

About "distributed files are still created, but they end up in different tables: F_TABLE_NAME_n": in my case it didn't happen. For example, I had F.DE.O.HANDOFF distributed and it ended up in dbo.F_DE_O_HANDOFF table. I used "Y" for "Generate Batches for Distributed Files".
