TSM to issue a "retryable" error code to RMAN to avoid loosing the session

Enhandmente for the API between RMAN and TSM:
problem:
if TSM issues an error Oracle closes the session and does not try again;

suggestion:
TSM to return a retryable error code to Oracle.
Oracle then can retry the backup on another channel.

Limitation confirmed by Oracle support withing this investigation (TSM PMR 82544,100,838 / Oracle SR 3-5508940531 - sally.rutland@oracle.com) :
RMAN will only try the operation once on each channel. Number of channels is hardcoded in Oracle and therefore not maintainable.

    After further investigation into this request,unfortunately we will not be implementing a solution as suggested. RMAN is where the backup redrive must be originated. To our knowledge, there have not been any updates to this behavior in RMAN since this request was submitted. One suggestion would be to use a script to check for failed backups and redrive the process and this is something we have worked with other customers on how to do.

    Thank you for submitting this request. This is a recognized requirement and a solution appears to be desirable. This request is not in the release plan currently under
    development, but the theme is aligned with our multi-year strategy. IBM is soliciting RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting.
    IBM’s plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
