    Hello,

    You need not specify parameters in "send" command. Also , BE will use DEFAULT DBA template, so you need not specify it, if you intend to use DEFAULT template. Job cookie is required , iff you are running multiple RMAN scripts at a time and want BE to create separate jobs for those scripts. Otherwise cookie is also not required. Here is the sample RMAN script which you can run.

    RMAN> run {allocate channel ch0 type 'sbt_tape';backup incremental level=0 format 'BE_%U' database force plus archivelog force not backed up;backup current controlfile format 'BE_%U';release channel ch0;}

    Thanks & Regards,

    Swati
