Thanks for the information Bill. Do you register each Oracle database server to the TSM server or do you only register one name to the TSM server and use a different TDPO_FS name for each Oracle server and/or Oracle database? Dale Gieseke

If your databases are static and never going to change configuration, it may be less important - I'm not sure. But if you ever delete a database or move it to another Oracle server, the seperate filespace name allows to you manipulate within TSM more easily. As a practice, I give each significant database it's own tdpo.opt file with it's own TDPO_FS name.

What is the advantage of doing this? Do users follow this suggestion, or do you let them default to "adsmorc"? Dale Gieseke TSM administrator The Toro Company
