Thank you all for your advice. I have managed to pass yet another hurdle on my way to running backups through the OEM. As you suggested, I defined a user on my UNIX machine with the same name as an Oracle user with DBA priviliges. I then chose File->Preferences and entered the same username and password here too.

Finally, I sent off the backup job and the user was authenticated. I have now run into another problem. The job has been scheduled and run, but I receive the following error :

Start of main script
Tablespaces = {TEMP}
Datafile# = {1}
Datafiles = {/aleph/oradata/aleph0/temp01.dbf} Destination = /tmp/ariel.bak
Online = "ONLINE"
JobID = 31
Backing up Tablespace TEMP
Call to SELECT COUNT(*) FROM smp_offline_backup_lock failed nms-5001: Unable to Start Hot Backup

I tried running the select command on the server directly, and sure enough, there is no smp_offline_backup_lock table. When was this table supposed to be defined, and by whom ? Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
