Hi DBA's,

I know this question was asked some time ago. Although I tried the recommended solution, it did not work for me. I'll paste my scripts. Hopefully, someone can point out my error. First the background:
I want to run this scripts from a remote client machine which has the Oracle DBA client (NT) installed or from another remote NT server which has Oracle 8.0.5 installed as well. The target database (Production) is located on the LAN. It is running Oracle 8.0.5 on NT 4.0 as well. I can connect start up either an SQLPLUS session or SVRMGR session and execute the Hot_Backup.sql script. However, when I try to invoke the SQLPLUS or SVRMGR program with the Hot_Backup script it fails with a message that I'm not connected to Oracle or Oracle is not available. As you can see from the commented lines in the batch file, I tried other options as well but none seems to work. Of course I want to use Winat.exe when it works.
I know that there are some commands that can only be executed from the SVRMGR prompt. For other scripts, can any script that can be run in SQLPLUS also be run from the SVRMGR prompt?

Here is the batch file (Hot_Backup_PROD.bat): SET ORACLE_SID=PROD
L:\orant\BIN\SVRMGR30.EXE
@C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator.000\Desktop\SQLs\DBA\Hot_Backup.sql
REM \\lamanai\e$\orant\BIN\PLUS80W.EXE
@C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator.000\Desktop\SQLs\DBA\Hot_Backup.sql
REM start L:\ORANT\BIN\PLUS80W.EXE
@C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator.000\Desktop\SQLs\DBA\Hot_Backup.sql

Here is the Hot_Backup.sql script:

connect internal/********;

spool C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator.000\Desktop\SQLs\DBA\Hot_Backup.out

alter system switch logfile;
alter system switch logfile;
alter tablespace IRD_BASE begin backup;
Host L:\orant\bin\ocopy80.exe L:\ORANT\DATABASE\IRDBASEPROD.ORA N:\ORA_Hot_Bkup\PROD
alter tablespace IRD_BASE end backup;
alter tablespace IRD_DATA_LARGE begin backup; Host L:\orant\bin\ocopy80.exe L:\ORANT\DATABASE\USR1PROD.ORA N:\ORA_Hot_Bkup\PROD
alter tablespace IRD_DATA_LARGE end backup; alter tablespace IRD_INDEXES begin backup; Host L:\orant\bin\ocopy80.exe L:\ORANT\DATABASE\INDX1PROD.ORA N:\ORA_Hot_Bkup\PROD
alter tablespace IRD_INDEXES end backup; alter tablespace IRD_TEMP begin backup;
Host L:\orant\bin\ocopy80.exe L:\ORANT\DATABASE\TMP1PROD.ORA N:\ORA_Hot_Bkup\PROD
alter tablespace IRD_TEMP end backup;
alter tablespace RBS begin backup;
Host L:\orant\bin\ocopy80.exe L:\ORANT\DATABASE\RBS1PROD.ORA N:\ORA_Hot_Bkup\PROD
alter tablespace RBS end backup;
alter tablespace ROLLBACKSPACE1 begin backup; Host L:\orant\bin\ocopy80.exe L:\ORANT\DATABASE\ROLL1PROD.ORA N:\ORA_Hot_Bkup\PROD
alter tablespace ROLLBACKSPACE1 end backup; alter tablespace SYSTEM begin backup;
Host L:\orant\bin\ocopy80.exe L:\ORANT\DATABASE\SYS1PROD.ORA N:\ORA_Hot_Bkup\PROD
alter tablespace SYSTEM end backup;
alter system switch logfile;
alter system switch logfile;
alter database backup controlfile to 'ctl1PROD.bak'; --Binary copy created in ORACLE_HOME\database\ctrlPROD.bak; alter database backup controlfile to trace; --SQL file appended to ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS80\Trace\(current Ora99999.trc file);
spool off
Thanks in advance for your help,
