Whilst trying to simplify our restore procedures by using automatic channels to configure RMAN for tape, I have run into the following problem.
I have found the problem. This command works: configure channel device type 'sbt' parms="BLKSIZE=1048576,ENV=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=ordevdb01,NB_ORA_POLICY=ORA_test_ts03,NB_ORA_SERV=rsysnbu,NB_ORA_SCHED=OracleBackup)"; This command does not work: configure channel device type 'sbt' parms="BLKSIZE=1048576,env=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=ordevdb01,NB_ORA_POLICY=ORA_test_ts03,NB_ORA_SERV=rsysnbu,NB_ORA_SCHED=OracleBackup)"; Actually both commands execute properly. The problem occurs when trying to make a backup. If the 2nd configure command is used, any attempt to backup with the automatic channel will result in an ORA-27209. Do you see the difference in the 2 commands? The one that works has ENV in uppercase, while it is 'env' in the non-working one. This must be an issue with the Veritas MML, as this problem does not occur when using the dummy tape interface. Only took me a month to figure it out. :( -- Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist
