if your SAP R/3 database is db2 you can use db2adutl tool for deactivating db backups.

Hi all,
I am using TSM 4.1 and TDP for SAP R/3. We are taking daily online backup(Monday,
Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday) and weekly offline backup (Sunday). We have
6 sets of
online/daily backup and 4 sets of offline/weekly backup. After every days backup we
take TSM DB
backup and VOLHISTORY and DEVCONFIG backup.
Now to reuse the tapes used for TSM DB backup we have to issue the command DELETE
VOLhistory with
option TYPE=DBBACKUP and TODATE=mm/dd/yyyy. But this command deletes all DBbackup info
prior to date
mm/dd/yyyy. I want to delete volhistory info only for one perticuler day. Can anyone
guide me how to
do this? Because on every online backup day (say Monday), if i delete volhistory info
for last
Monday, it deletes volhistory info for last Sunday/offline backup as well. Where as i
want to retain
offline backup volhistory info for one month.
Please guide me how to delete DB backup volhistory info only for one perticuler day,
so that i can
retain volhistory info prior to that day as well.
All suggestions are most welcome.
Regards
Praveen
