RMAN Recovery Catalog

Hi there,

I am trying to create a recovery catalog on a 9i database on a Linux box.
When I invoke the rman command from the prompt it just freezes and nothing happens (like the application is running in the background)

If I try the command rman catalog rman_user/rman@portals I get the error
portals@cream:~$ rman catalog rman_user/rman@portals
rman: can't open catalog

Similarly

portals@cream:~$ rman nocatalog
rman: can't open nocatalog

However
portals@cream:~$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Dec 11 14:04:01 2002

SQL> connect rman_user/rman@portals
Connected.
SQL>
Works, so the connectivity and the user is correct

I can't work out why I can't get the executable to run.
I have followed the procedure many times before on my NT machine with no problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. Oracle9i on Fedora Core 4. If I find a solution, I will let you know!

dude, that post was over 3 and half years ago! i bet they still aint checking this forum for an answer

I have problem with Oracle 10g r1 database in DR site. That is Oracle 10g database and running in "mount" mode. I have setup rman job to apply archive logs and recover the database.

We have added data file to the production system and when particular archive apply to the DR site database, there wasn't enough space to create the datafile.

Now we have increase the space and there are enough space to create the particular fle.

How do we continue the recovery?
