For my SAP systems I have 4 management classes <SID>_saplog1 <SID>_saplog2 <SID>_sapincr <SID>_cold <----this is for tsm cold backups and restores. I also use the TSM expiration but we have been thinking about using TDP versioning but it is one of those don't fix what isn't broken. TDP uses the archive copy group and not the backup copy group so all you have to worry about is Retain Version. I group the SID's by type so I have all of my DV's going to dv_saplog1 and same with TT (technical test), CN (consolidation), and PR (production). For versioning I believe it is 9999 or at least beyond what the latest possible the versioning would expire. We do most of our stuff for 18 days so my retv=18 for most systems. Becky

Client AIX 4.3, TSM 4.2.1.25, and TDP for R/3 3.2.0.11 (Oracle) Question about TDP. We wanted to use the Management Class on the TSM-server like this: Versions Data Exists NOLIMIT Versions Data Deleted 3 Retain Extra Versions 21 Retain Only Version 30 In the Guide Tivoli Data Protection for R/3 Installation & User's Guide for Oracle is mentioned to define 4 different Management Classes. I was wondering how other people have defined there Management Classes. Support told me to use 4 different Management Classes because it's in the manual so they mention something with it (maybe for in the future), but what is the advantage of 4 different Management Classes. We have 8 TDP-clients. The manual is saying every client his own 4 different Management Classes. It's not easy to manage that way. Besides you have to define an archive-copy group. We don't want to use Versioning in TDP, but use expiration via TSM-client/server. How many days I have to define the archive-copy group. I think it has to be 21 days. I guess that when using Versioning in TDP you have to set these parameter on 9999. Am I right. Is there somebody who want to share the definitons used for TDP for Management Classes and Copy Groups?
