Andy Raibeck once put out an sql manual which was specific to the TSM database. I've lost my copy along the way so if you still have a link Andy that would be nice! But, whilst the TSM database is *not* DB2, it looks as if the SQL interface was modelled on DB2 sql. Bear in mind that you only have a select statement and that many of the more complicated subselection constructs are not supported, neither is UNION. but go to the DB2 infocenter http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm. db2.udb.doc/core/c0008880.htm then under Reference, SQL you will find explanations of functions and queries that may prove useful. I most recently used this when I wanted to find the function that returns the day-of-month protion of a timestamp because I wanted to run something different in my housekeeping script on the 9th of every month. The function is DAY. Regards Steve Steven Harris AIX and TSM Admin Brisbane Australia

AW: AW: TDP for Exchange - Management Class
Hi! >> . So What the purpose of many management class per node utility If can't >> .. The purpose is to assign different backup/reposit attributes to respective objects, but not to change that attributes ferocious in time. What you actually designed in the table below means your instruction for TSM are as follow: january 1.st : "Dear TSM, keep all "*\...\full" backups for that long time: %Sched_Exch_daily% " january 2nd.: "Dear TSM, keep all "*\...\full" backups for that long time: %Sched_Exch_daily% " ... january 31.st: "Dear TSM, keep all "*\...\full" backups for that long time: %Sched_Exch_monthly% " february 1.st : "Dear TSM, keep all "*\...\full" backups for that long time: %Sched_Exch_daily% " ... december 31.th: "Dear TSM, keep all "*\...\full" backups for that long time: %Sched_Exch_yearly% " january 1.st : "Dear TSM, keep all "*\...\full" backups for that long time: %Sched_Exch_daily% " ... What does TSM Server think about? I guess if TSM could speek, he´d tell: "Well, that guy is changing his own rules pretty often. I do not understand what he wants to achieve, but he is the boss, I´ll simply do what he tells me to do." :-))) So again, what are the MGMT Classes good for: INCLUDE "*\...\full"EXCH_mine INCLUDE "*\...\copy" EXCH_another INCLUDE "*\...\incremental" EXCH_another_one and what are they NOT good for: INCLUDE "*\...\full" EXCH_mine INCLUDE "*\...\full" EXCH_another INCLUDE "*\...\full" EXCH_another_one >> of many management class per node utility It´s wrong. It is not "per node", it is "per domain". Not utility but setting.
