RMAN Duplicate without Target (only Aux and Catalog) RMAN-20006
cayenneNov 23 2010 — edited Oct 30 2012Hello all,
I'm close to being able, I think to try a duplicate from tape to remote server, without using target database...but I'm stuck.
I've connected to RMAN:
rman auxiliary sys@instance1 catalog rman123@catalog1
This connects successfully.
I'm now, trying to set up my channel, but it keeps erroring out that the target database name is missing:
RMAN> show channel;
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name INSTANCE1 are:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of show command at 11/23/2010 11:46:18
RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20006: target database name is missing
I'm at a bit of a loss here what to do...I'm trying to do the DUPLICATE without the target database connection scenario..not sure what I'm missing.
Any advice?
