tsm_mgmtclass - Tivoli Storage Manager management class configuration parameter

The Tivoli® Storage Manager management class determines how the TSM server manages the backup versions of the objects being backed up.

Configurable by member in a DB2® pureScale® environment

Default [range]

NULL [YOUR_STRING_VALUE]

By default, no management class is specified by a DB2 database.

When performing any TSM backup, before using the management class specified by the database configuration parameter, TSM first attempts to bind the backup object to the management class specified in the INCLUDE-EXCLUDE list found in the TSM client options file. If a match is not found, the default TSM management class specified on the TSM server is used. TSM then rebinds the backup object to the management class specified by the database configuration parameter.

The default management class, as well as the management class specified by the database configuration parameter, must contain a backup copy group, or the backup operation might fail.
