Hi Aravind,

I'd say that using a separate/dedicated nodename for TDPO backups is a
must whichever scheduling mechanism you'd choose to use (for clarity I
usually suffix the nodename/cluster name with _TDPO where the node is
defined in a separate policy domain on the TSM server with an
appropriately policied default mgmt class). TSM Scheduler is one I
commonly use, but external scheduling tools can be useful as well
(particularly when dealing with more advanced/complex inter-activity
dependencies) - OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) provides some useful
'build your own RMAN script' GUI tools, scheduling and monitoring
capabilities (and the DBAs like as they feel in control).

Subject: [ADSM-L] Scheduling TDP Oracle agents

Hi all,

Just wanted to know how people typically schedule TDP for Oracle jobs?
One of the approaches is to define an alternate node name and use the
TSM scheduler to launch the RMAN backup script via this alternate node
name. Any other typical approaches out there?

Thanks

Aravind
