another thing is what about PASSWORDACCESS Prompt for TDPO ? if i want to use dsmcad the PASSWORDACCESS has to be generate, right ? otherwise i'm getting ANS2050E TSM needs to prompt for the password but cannot prompt because the process is running in the backgroud
Keep thinking about the scheduler and the TDP clear and separate... dsmcad is part of the Backup-Archive client, and is unrelated to the API, which is the basis of TDP operation. dsmcad runs 'dsmc schedule' as a child process, and dsmc is part of B/A. The B/A client has a conventional directory for its options files; the API has its own conventional directory for its options files; and a TDP such as oracle can specify a location for separate options via an environment variable (dsmi_orc_config). Often, for sanity, the API dsm.sys filename is actually a symbolic link to the B/A dsm.sys file, wherein there is a separate stanza for API use, as named in the API dsm.opt. Via such separations, it is possible to use Passwordaccess Generate for running the TDP via scheduling, because that is just a B/ A client vehicle for running an Action=Command type schedule, to kick off the TDP backup in its own environment. See the appendix in your TDPO manual, which describes setting this up. Richard Sims not an Oracle guy
