Rick,

Was the "User Authentication Failed" an Rman error?  Or an OS error?
I'm wondering if the batch job lost some kind of priv.  You don't say if
this is a cron run job or an Oem run job.

If Oem, what Linux account does it run under and did that account lose
some privs?

Tom

Subject: RMAN Job Failure

 

Environment:

 

9.2.0.5 on Red Hat Linux ES3

 

I was checking backups from last night with the following oddity.  The
job failed with "User Authentication Failed."  Simple right?  The oracle
user account password changed - not.  The o/s account pw didn't change,
the RMAN account on the database - password hasn't changed either.  I
spoke with my S/A and he hasn't changed anything either.  The
semi-intelligent agent is still running (Since Feb 16th).

 

I did try to run a one-off job to do a one time get it done now backup
through the OEM console with no success.  However, I was able to log in
to the server and run an RMAN script via command line with no problems.

 

Any thoughts/experiences with this type of problem?

 

Thank you for your help.
