Per some of the other responses to your question, you have two main choices
for keeping API (DB2) data separate from your backup/archive client data.
Either way you should use separate nodenames for these two types of data.
Once you have two nodenames, you can have them belong to the same domain,
but use the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE list to send API data to a management class with
the desired retention (VERDEL=0 RETONLY=0).

Or you can create a new domain and update the node that will be doing the
API backups to be a member of this domain.  Then you just need one
management class as the default and you don't have to worry about
incorrectly setting the include statement.  I recommend using a second
domain.

Subject: 1 server with two policys?
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 15:11:09 -0500

Hello all,
        I am trying to get some more interesting servers setup on our new
TSM 4.1 system.  (TSM is new to our site, we are getting rid of STKs CAM
system).  I am dealing with an RS6000 with DB2 on it.  Most of the data for
the server should have an entirely different backup schedule and data
retention schedule than the DB2 data bases.  Can I have this server defined
to two differenet POLICIES?  Do I have to give it two differenet names?  I
am kind of lost with it.  Any help would be appreciated.
Matt
