When you use RMAN, RMAN is totally in charge of the objects. Unfortunately, the Oracle Media Management API is limited in what it does. It basically announces an object to the interface provided by the backup vendor and pours the data down the pipe.
This subject has been discussed a lot on the ListServer. Go to WWW.ADSM.ORG and you should be able to find a wealth of information. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Aberle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 10:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Oracle TDP mgmt Hello, I have two questions regarding rman - Oracle TDP - and TSM. I am using TDP 2.2 and TSM 4.1. 1) I set the Management class as stated in the TDP install guide to have "Retain Only Version = 0" as well as "Versions Data Deleted=0". My question is - who handles the retention policy of the files backed up via TDP? rman? where specifically? 2) Can I restore files backed up via rman/TDP? I query the filespace /adsmorc, however, here is what I see: tsm> q ba -subd=yes /adsmorc/ Size Backup Date Mgmt Class A/I File ---- ----------- ---------- --- ---- API 2,147,483 K 02/05/02 11:57:17 DEFAULT A /adsmorc//DSIRS/full_t453035902_s10_p2 API 2,147,483 K 02/05/02 12:34:07 DEFAULT A /adsmorc//DSIRS/full_t453035902_s10_p3 However if I query the file itself, I get the following: tsm> q ba -subd=yes /adsmorc//DSIRS/full_t453035902_s10_p2 ANS1092E No files matching search criteria were found Why is there a "//" character? How can I q just the file name? Thanks for the help, Jonathan
