RMAN error on Production Databases

[CoMurphy]

Hello we currently have our DBA team looking into this error and we are wondering if anyone else has experienced this error and what they did to work around it?

Not really NBU issue.  See this thread for possible soluton:

Connectivity to the database is actually fine. Our DBA is saying that after the full backup of DF, when it goes to backup archive log files that it checks to see if any new data files were added and if there were that is where it is failing.

We came up with a "possible" solution of making the RMAN script stop after the data file then start a seperate process for archive log files.

Thanks!

Thank you for the link. However we are 99% positive that it is not password or user information causing the error. That is true this may not be truely NBU issue. However NBU does report an error 6 for each backup that failed and someone else may have had this issue.

Thanks,
CM

What happens if you try to do the resync by hand in the rman prompt ?

I would like to see the script that is used...

I am no scripting or rman expert, but have never seen this happen when the sample script was used for hot catalog backups.

ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

This is not a Netbackup error message, coming straight from Oracle.

Google return a mount of hits on ORA-01017. Possible best fit is checking grants permissions
