>From my (limited) experience in doing TDP Informix, the actual backup objects for the database are the same names, so your management class retentions should be handling that. The archive logs are a different matter. They are uniquely named with a sequence number. You can remove them from the SYSUTILS table and then run the ONOMSYNC utility to syncronize the SYSUTILS table with TSM, or get a list of the objects by running the B/A client with the TDP Informix nodename and doing a query backup. Then issue the EXPIRE command for each object you want to remove.

I am using the 5.1.5 client and server. Backups are working fine, but it seems that the amount of data for my Informix client nodes continually increases and expiration doesn't ever remove anything. Does anyone have any pointers to information on configuring management classes for Informix and for actually expiring the files? Thanks, Gary Oborn
