Logged on to the box with a local user that is a member of both the local Administrators group and the local ora_dba group.

Connection to db with sqlplus, using local credentials, is quite happy:

C:\TEMP>sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production

But connecting to rman requires me to spell it out ...

C:\TEMP>rman target / nocatalog

So, what am I overlooking? I've never before had a problem with "rman target / nocatalog" Received on Tue Jun 13 2006 - 12:59:45 CDT
