Re: RE: RMAN error - can someone help ?

Ruth,

>Set you ORACLE_SID which will be the target and try again.

c:> set ORACLE_SID=AUX92

AUX92 is the name of my auxiliary instance on Host A ( target host ).

c:> rman target bkadmin_at_pe92 catalog rman_at_lat92 auxiliary sys trace=c:\tspitr.log where "PE92" is the target on same Host A and "LAT92" is my recovery catalog on a diff. host.

This is what metalink doc. 180436.1 says:  "rman target sys/password_at_target catalog rman/rman_at_rcat auxiliary / trace=d:\tspitr.log"

>It looks like you don't have your ORACLE_SID specified correctly since, if I
>read this correctly, the database you are trying to restore is on dick c:.

my target database is in d:\oracle\

but even then where did this path come from ??   ORA-19504: failed to create file "D:\ORACLE\ORA92\DATABASE\;\SYSTEM01.DBF"

those ;\ in the path look strange and wonder oracle appends that ??

any clues Ruth.just stuck up here and not able to proceed further. i tried it repeatedly.

Thanx once again.
Jp.
