Hello.

First make sure that that your repository is running.
At the c prompt try this:
c:>rman nocatalog username/password@sid target sys/sysdba@sid

Hope this helps.

I solved the "problem"
After some investigation I found that there is /usr/X11R6/bin/rman executable. the path to /usr/X11R6/bin is before the path to oracle_home. So when i typed the whole path to oracle rman executable it started properly
