Assigning a TSM management class for a backup

When you back up a database, the default management class for your node is used. You can override the default value with a different value that is specified in the INCLUDE option.

The INCLUDE option is placed in the include-exclude options file. The file name of the include-exclude options file is in the client system options file (dsm.sys). For more information, see the Tivoli® Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide.

Use the following naming conventions for ON-Bar files:
  • A database backup:

    /dbservername/dbservername/dbspacename/level

  • For a database backup, an example of the INCLUDE statement is as follows:
    Include /dbserverA/dbserverA/dbspaceA/* InformixDbMgmt
  • A log backup:

    /dbservername/dbservername/server_number/unique_logid

For a logical log backup, an example of the INCLUDE statement is as follows:
Include /dbserverA/dbserverA/55/* InformixLogMgmt
where the number 55 is the value of the SERVERNUM parameter in the onconfig file.
