We have a schedule for RMAN backup with backup type: Automatic full backup.

When I am trying to change the schedule I can only change the schedule for weekly.

Can anyone please help to schedule the backup only once in a month.

Have you tried using Calendar based scheduling?

As per revaroo's excellent post, select Calendar schedule for the Automatic schedule.

In the Calendar Schedule tab, select Schedule by recurring days of the month.

I have selected calendar and 1st of every month but how I need to select the start window because, every month 1st can't fall on same weekday.

You can select every day of the week to ensure that there is an open window no matter which day of the week the 1st day of the month is.

Calendar scheduling is explained in NBU Admin Guide I: http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5157
