Thanks Andy,
My situation is that I have Oracle 7 databases to backup, so no TDP and
rman. The system is set so that the areas we store the Oracle datafiles
in is ignored. Fine for the Unix backups, but I need to be able to at
least shutdown the Oracle 7 databases and do a cold backup. At the same
time I do not want to change the inclexcl file named in the dsm.sys, its
no good backing up the database while its running (well I know there is
the hot tablespace backup option, but lets ignore that for now). Also I
need to back these files up to the same backup policy used for the Unix
backup, not the one used for rman backups, because that policy is set to
never automatically age out the files.

Regards

Pete

No, but your TSM administrator should be able to configure an
include-exclude file in dsm.sys (see the INCLEXCL option in the client
manual).

Considering the ramifications of modifying Include-exclude options,
these should be treated as semi-permanent and not changed unless you are
looking to change the policy by which your files are managed.

If this does not answer your question, then please clarify what you need
to do.

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
