RMAN plugin required

We are changing our environment to separate failure domains across data center. To be safe but nearly synchronous our Oracle database will be (nearly) synchronized by Oracle dataguard based on Oracle ExaCC.
To continue the backup solution with the IBM spectrum protect family we would like to migrate the workload to IBM spectrum protect PLUS.
Our database administrators are familiar with RMAN since years and like to continue using this tool as we have scripted lots of tool to make our life easier.
For have a continuous support in case of restores handled by our database administrators, a RMAN plugin is required.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    1. We have a script set which is relaying on the rman catalog (e.g. accounting, backup and restore).
    What is most important to have is the capability to see the backups in the rman catalog to have the wellknown way for the restore.
    2. So in fact the restore.
