Hello There,

I have tried to run rman from the catalog database server(adm_p) and tried to backup the database (fndry_p) to a directory on adm_p server. Both are unix servers. Below is my code and errors. The directory exists on adm_p and not on fndry_p (because I obviously don't want to backup my database to the same server). The error proves that it is looking at the target database. What should I do to make it look at adm_p???


Please help

Thanks,
Nirasha
