Rick,

Was the "User Authentication Failed" an Rman error? Or an OS error? I'm wondering if the batch job lost some kind of priv. You don't say if this is a cron run job or an Oem run job.

If Oem, what Linux account does it run under and did that account lose some privs?

Subject: RMAN Job Failure

Environment:

9.2.0.5 on Red Hat Linux ES3

I was checking backups from last night with the following oddity. The job failed with "User Authentication Failed." Simple right? The oracle user account password changed - not. The o/s account pw didn't change, the RMAN account on the database - password hasn't changed either. I spoke with my S/A and he hasn't changed anything either. The semi-intelligent agent is still running (Since Feb 16th).

I did try to run a one-off job to do a one time get it done now backup through the OEM console with no success. However, I was able to log in to the server and run an RMAN script via command line with no problems.

Any thoughts/experiences with this type of problem?

Thank you for your help.
