The API and BA client are the same license.  Presumably you will also be
licensing TSM for DB, aka Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle (TDPO).
That is a different license on top of the BA client license.

Hi all

Running TSM Server 5.2.7.2 on Solaris 2.9. Going to be backing up a
Windows
2003 DB2 client.

I am just beginning to read the extensive "Backing Up DB2 with IBM
Tivoli
Storage Management" redbook and want to ask a very basic question at
the
start. Am I now right in thinking that I install both the BA Client for
the
standard backup (presumably excluding the DB2 datafiles), and the API
for
the DB2 backups?

If this is the case, is this one licensed client or two? And do they
both
use separate configuration files (dsm.opt etc).

This is new to me and on a Windows OS which I'm not familiar with (I
mostly
deal with Solaris).

Thanks
