I asked this question of BMC at least 6-12 months ago and officially got the
answer of "this is unsupported ".  We are getting around it by creating a
separate profile in a different location and move it back and forth between
the temporary area, and the real area before starting the backup.  Seemed
like a reasonable request to have 2 different mgmtclasses for backups, and
archives, but they said no.

Subject: Re: how does TSM / sql backtrack use management classes?


Hello,

using SQL BackTrack, all retention management is done by SQL-BT acording to
definitions in the so called Oracatalog. Every backup object is unique,
because the name includes a timestamp. Versioning from TSM sight cannot be
established.

In the inst. guide of SQLBT-interface mode to TSM, called obsi.adsm, you
find
the nessessary defs for the backup or archive copy groups.
