Hi *SM-ers!
Our SQL Server department is currently migrating to SQL Server 2000 and thus
they are going to use DP for SQL Server 5.2.1 instead of TDP for SQL Server
1.1.2.
With 1.1.2 they were able to control retention through the ADSMAUTODELETE
command, but since 5.2.1 uses TSM policy retention management that's no
longer possible.
The problem (or challenge?) is that they have several databases on one node
with all their own retention requirements, varying from 9 days to 168 days.
Just storing all data for 168 days would be the easiest solution, but one of
the short retention databases is 20 Gb. so the impact on the TSM storage
would be significant.
Does anybody have a simple solution to use the 5.2.1 client in such an
environment?
Thanks in advance for any reply!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
