The TSM API is part of the downloadable TSM BA client.
The purpose of the API (Application Programing Interface) is to enable other programs to use the TSM functions.
For example, the TDP for SQl, or TDP for Exchange is use the TSM API.

Windows BA clients installs it by default.
For Exchange, SQL etc, you need specific client, sometimes called TDP or TSM for databases, or TSM for mail.
TSM API than come with BA client you can use to backup DB2 or Informix, and some other IBM product that has "the rest" embedded in product (like content manager eg.)
Also, you can maybe create some of your programs that leverage TSM API, or use some third party products. There is a guy who create nice TSM client for backing up MySQL db using TSM API.

hi zsoltesz,
I'm trying to perform a backup on a production oracle database to tape using rman and tivoli. Presently,i've been backing up using normal file system backup (ie savevg command: savevg -f /dev/rmt2 -viV oracleDB_vg, aix by the way) to tape. Reading on this, i was told i need to install the following;Tivoli Storage Manager Server Version 5.1.0 (or later),
Tivoli Storage Manager API Version 5.1.5 (or later) and Oracle9i Version 9.2
i have my oracle installed and my tivoli storage manager but in not sure if i have the API installed coz i didnt do the initial installation of these softwares.
pls where or how do i check for this on my servers because from reading, i need it to install Data Protection for Oracle which works with RMAN for oracle database backup to tape.

pkginfo | grep -i tiv will display the name of the installed tivoli packages.
o get further details about each package:
pkginfo -L TIVsmCapi
pkginfo -L TIVsmCba
....
If you are able to backup the filesystem youhave the api installed (the tsm filsystem backup client uses the api as well)
Good luck.
