You might be able to get acceptably accurate information from 'query
occupancy' commands for the filespaces used for TDP data. This will
give the number of files in storage pools. For a filespace used for
backup/archive client data, the count of files in storage pools and
the count of files in the TSM database can differ because directories
and zero-length files usually have database entries but no storage
pool contents. I don't know whether filespaces used for TDP Oracle
are subject to similar behavior.
