Hello,

I am trying to run a shell script as root to kick off an RMAN
backup session. OS is SunOS 5.8
I run $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target user/pwd nocatalog and get the following errors:

RMAN-00571: file not found
LEM-00031:file not found: arguements: [lempgmh] [lmserr]
LEM-00033:file not found: arguements: [lempgmh] Couldn't Open
message file

Same messages generated when running on the command line;
Please advise a fix!

Thanks,

Bill

set your ORACLE_HOME and PATH
ORACLE_HOME=/../../
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

It is not a good practise to use root for regular system maintainence.

Hi Mahesh,

I originally tried to run this script as Oracle but ran into the same errors. Now that I have an idea of the fix, I will run it out of Oracle cron. Thank you for your quick response.

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Mahesh,

Sorry to bother you but another problem has arisen when running this script as oracle.
I get the following error:

/u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.1_64: is not an identifier

running "echo $ORACLE_HOME" gives the same path as above. Any
help/advice is appreciated!

Thanks,

Bill

from your script

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.1_64 
export $ORACLE_HOME 
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin: 
export $PATH 
echo $ORACLE_HOME;echo $PATH

wont work.
you cannot export $VARIABLE.
try

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.1_64 
export ORACLE_HOME 
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin: 
export PATH 
echo $ORACLE_HOME;echo $PATH
