The target is the database you backup to copy it, or have backed up before. The auxiliary database is the clone to produce. It's not that difficult to setup in oem, depends on the platform and available bugs in rman.tcl. I would first try to make an rman job to produce any report and see if that works. rman.tcl on windows is in error (9204). On unix it works.
