hi,
thanks for that
i have done the following

replace script 'rman_daily_backup' {
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
allocate channel dev1 type disk format '/images/rman_%s.bak';
backup database include current controlfile;
alter database open;
release channel dev1;
}

when I run this script however, I get the following error

RMAN-03022: compiling command: allocate
RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN-06099: error occurred in source file: krmk.pc, line: 9397

any ideas what this could be caused by?

best regards

Alan.

>>RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database:

Your RMAN session cannot talk to your recovery catalog.
are you having your Recovery catalog inside the target datatabase?
Hope no.
Make sure you have listner available and proper tnsentries enabled so RMAN can talk to the target database.
And first, did you do the necessary Configurations for RMAN?
post your show all output, oracle version, OS, target and recovery catalog versions.
