RE: Rman Question

        It's the latter. Run Rman remotely? That sounds weird.

        As for the other suggestions:

        For some reason our Unix admins have disabled/not loaded the screen utility.

        Yes I'd use a shell script that I can throw into the background except that I've got people waiting & I really don't have time to write the script in the first place.

        Lastly the keep alive ping idea was suggested by our Network folks, but the unsympathic VPN folks already thought of that and disabled the ping as "data". Therefore Putty and Ultraedit's keep alive don't work.

        Course they don't kill off idle UDP sessions for some silly reason. Namely they don't want their e-mail connections broken. OH BOTHER!! Dick Goulet

Hi,
I think the problem needs clarification. Is it that the rman session is connecting to a databse over a VPN that times out or is it that a OS session over a VPN that is running rman gets dropped. The latter can be solved by using screen/nohup, but as Stephane said it will not help the former. But it seems odd to me, if the former is the case, to even try to run rman like this, is there a good reason not to run it on the database machine itself?

Regards
Pete
