Thanks for reply Ronan, in this case we don't use catalog. I have different behavior when I run restore from disk and from tape. From disk it is just error database not mounted. From tape nothing I waited for half hour and just kill the RMAN process. Maybe RMAN just cannot find the file. Or just need few hours to finish it...... run { SET DBID=3555660907; ALLOCATE CHANNEL 't11' type 'sbt_tape' parms="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/oracle/admin/XYZS1/tsm207/tdpo.opt)"; SET UNTIL TIME "to_date('2014-03-06:17:50:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd:hh24:mi:ss')"; restore controlfile from AUTOBACKUP; } Any ideas ? *-----------------* *Tiran* *Best RegardsStay in touch...* On 11 March 2014 17:42, <Ronan.Merrick@xxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Tiran, > > You need to be connected to a recovery catalog to run this.
