rman and datafilecopy

Hi

has anyone used datafilecopy in rman 9i?

I get this error

RMAN> BACKUP DATAFILECOPY '/tmp/users.dbf';

Starting backup at 17/06/03
using channel ORA_DISK_1

RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20230: datafile copy not found in the recovery catalog
RMAN-06015: error while looking up datafilecopy name: /tmp/users.dbf

Hello, there
Oracle it says : The specified datafile is not in the recovery catalog or it has been marked deleted.
So try the following
select db_key, tablespace_name,name, included_in_database_backup from
rman.rc_datafile;


make sure that the datafile is there and is set to YES on the included_in_database_backup field.

I hope it will help.

This will be determined by executing list copy from RCAT,.


change datafilecopy 'users.dbf' uncatalog; or catalog

it doesnt work

Code:
