You did not say what type of system the client is.  This was easy on our
unix boxes.  The dsm.sys file is made to be in stanza format and thus we use
two different client nodes.  One for the system and one for Oracle.  Since
these are treated as two separate nodes to TSM, they do not get in each
others way.  They both have their own dsm.opt file which calls out different
stanzas in the dsm.sys file and different includes/excludes.  The system one
excludes the oracle databases.  The oracle one uses domain statements and
includes to get just the database files.  Pre and post commands are used to
shutdown the database and start it back.  We run these from cron of unix.

With proper scripting and environmental variables one should be able to do
this with windows also.  Some of the latest versions of TSM for NT and W2K
allow for more than one scheduler to run and depict different dsm.opt files.

This is how we handle it.
