Sean, This is a good question; I have had a really hard time finding more information about the store inside TSM for TDP for Oracle. Our TSM is keeping the TDPO backups forever. (Until I delete the filespace completely).
I've done the same thing with my management class as per instructions (1,0,0,0). In addition to that I've read that the management class needs to be put in the dsm.opt or dsm.sys files ?? If filespace is not specified, then /adsmorc is used. Within TSM administrator client, I've done a "q QUERY ACTLOG BEGINDATE=01/20/2004 BEGINTIME=01:00 ENDDATE=02/06/2004 ENDTIME=NOW SEARCH=adsmorc" and seen curious entries in the TSM server activity log. But I can't make sense of them: 01/22/04 03:01:41 ANE4994S (Session: 30431, Node: 107PROD) TDP Oracle SUN ANU0599 ANU2602E The object /adsmorc//25fc5edk_1_1 was not found on the TSM Server 01/22/04 03:02:28 ANE4994S (Session: 30434, Node: 107PROD) TDP Oracle SUN ANU0599 ANU2602E The object /adsmorc//d7fc5edo_1_1 was not found on the TSM Server 01/22/04 03:47:16 ANE4991I (Session: 30439, Node: 107PROD) TDP Oracle SUN ANU0599 ANU2535I File /adsmorc//d8fc5ei5_1_1 = 1572864000 bytes sent 01/22/04 04:28:25 ANE4991I (Session: 30501, Node: 107PROD) TDP Oracle SUN ANU0599 ANU2535I File /adsmorc//d9fc5h68_1_1 = 1572864000 bytes sent 01/22/04 04:30:09 ANE4994S (Session: 30537, Node: 107PROD) TDP Oracle SUN ANU0599 ANU2602E The object /adsmorc//dafc5jje_1_1 was not found on the TSM Server Anyone, is there a way to find out what these 'files' in the /adsmorc filespace are bound to ? TSM looks like a DB2.. Is there any information within TSM that i can get to that will let me know more ? It seems like TSM has to know what mgmt class these /adsmorc//backup23983_xx files are bound to. In the TDPO directory, there is a utility called tdposync that claims to sync the TSM store and the Oracle Rman information. I haven't had success in connecting with it yet. -----Original Message----- From: bab [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 10:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TDP for Oracle and TSM be sure, node use for tdp has backdelete=yes On Mon, 09 Feb 2004 tsmadmin account for Excaliber Business Solutions wrote : >Hi > >I am running TDP for Oracle Version 2.2.1 on an AIX server. >Current version of Oracle is version 8 >We are using RMAN to backup the database to TSM. > >My question is using RMAN how does one delete/expire the data out of TSM. >Using the RMAN option I have specified the following for the co group. > > > >Versions Versions Retain Retain >Data Data Extra Only >Exists Deleted Versions Version > > 1 0 0 0 > > >Thks >Sean > >"This e-mail is sent on the Terms and Conditions that can be accessed by Clicking on this link http://www.vodacom.net/legal/email.asp "
