Reading the docs for the TDP closely helps.  I had to :(

In any case, you need to have one client for the machine (system and flat
files), and another name for the TDP. I hope this helps. ... Jack

Subject: TDP Informix - copygroup retention values on Server?

Guys & especially Del Hoobler ;o),

New to Informix backups. One of our internal customers has an Informix
consultant in who has never used TSM before, and is looking to try out
some TDPI/ONBAR backups to our TSM servers. Looking at what (little)
documentation there is for TDPI on IBM.COM, I'm a little in the dark as
how to register these nodes best at the TSM server side.

I've created a new domain for these backups, but when it comes to
retver, reto etc in the backup and archive copygroups, I can't find any
guidance at all in the docs. From my understanding of I have been able
to discover, expiration is managed at the Informix end, so am I looking
at a similar setup to the retention settings I've used in the past for
DB2/Oracle backups?

Any guidance most welcome!

TSM Server Solaris 5.1.6.2, clients at 5.1.6.2 (Solaris probably 8 but
could be 9), don't know which version of TDP for Informix they might be
using, but I presume a latest version.
