RMAN

Hi,

When you register a database with RMAN, how does the local host resolve the DB of the target name.
For eg.

I am on host unixhost1
my RMAN database is called RMAN
I am trying to register a database called PROD that lives on host LIVE1

Does it use the tnsnames.ora in $TNS_ADMIN??? Or some other method??


Thanks

The rman would use your tnsnames.ora file to resolve the service name

$ rman target sys/passwd@pdb catalog rman_pdb/passwd@rcat
RMAN>

Check your tnsnames.ora file to make sure that you are calling the correct service name.


Good luck,
Sam
