here's our rman_cntl.rcv, which you'd run from the RMAN> prompt:
oracle on unixtest04 in /ops/dba/scripts> cat rman_cntl.rcv
Connect target rman/backitup@test
connect rcvcat rman92/rman92@rm9i
run
 {allocate channel 'T1' type 'SBT_TAPE'
parms 'ENV=(TDO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt)';
    backup
        full
        skip inaccessible
        tag Full_DB
        filesperset 5
        format 'df_t%t_s%s_p%p'
        (current controlfile);
     release channel T1;
    }


Here's our tdpo.opt

HI *SMers,

I am trying to setup oracle backup and I am new to RMAN.
Would someone willing to share sample tdpo.opt and RMAN backup script for
my
reference?

Thanks in advance
