The customers I've worked with used a shell script to determine -archmc for daily/weekly/monthly; without TDP, the script manipulates the parameter passed in for the -archmc value on the "dsmc ar" cmd... you could use a presched command to do the same (for flip the profile name, causing TDP to use varying -archmc values).

Hi all, I did some poking around the list and didn't see anything on the subject. Does anybody have a good method for doing Monthly and Yearly backups of an R3 (oracle) database using the TDP for R3? I have a requirement to maintain daily backups for 2 weeks, monthly backups for 3 months and yearly backups for 7 years. Superficially, It appears to be straightforward to set up different server stanzas within the TDP profile for different days of the week, but that's it. I suspect that I could get extra fancy and write a script to do a flip of the profile to an alternate profile file on the appropriate days, and have it flip back when it's done, but that seems like a bit of a band-aid to me and I'm wondering if anyone's come up with something better? regards, Paul
