Connecting To RMAN
Here are the steps you need to perform to connect to RMAN
with or without recovery catalog.
Step 1: Set ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_SID is the operating system environment variable and
we use the 'set' command to set it to the database SID we want
RMAN to backup.
C:\> SET ORACLE_SID = test
In Unix, its done as follows
$ oraenv ORACLE_SID = test
Step 2: Run RMAN
Go to the Oracle bin directory and at the command prompt write
rman
RMAN>
no matter its Unix or Windows Server 2003/NT.
Step 3: Issue CONNECT TARGET
Using DBA privileges issue CONNECT TARGET as follows.
RMAN> connect target /
The above mentioned command will make RMAN utilize
Recovery Catalog database but before doing that you have to
make sure that you have created Recovery Catalog database
otherwise run RMAN with NOCATALOG option as shown
below.
