Hi Aravind, I'd say that using a separate/dedicated nodename for TDPO backups is a must whichever scheduling mechanism you'd choose to use (for clarity I usually suffix the nodename/cluster name with _TDPO where the node is defined in a separate policy domain on the TSM server with an appropriately policied default mgmt class). TSM Scheduler is one I commonly use, but external scheduling tools can be useful as well (particularly when dealing with more advanced/complex inter-activity dependencies) - OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) provides some useful 'build your own RMAN script' GUI tools, scheduling and monitoring capabilities (and the DBAs like as they feel in control).

One of the approaches is to define an alternate node name and use the TSM scheduler to launch the RMAN backup script via this alternate node name. Any other typical approaches out there?
