Two Problems here: First off, you need to register the target database with RMAN - that should take care of your last error. Secondly, you need to put the key word "TDPO_OPTFILE" in all caps. Although, it appears to work for you, I can assure it is not.
The 'ENV=()'; command in RMAN puts the contents inside the parentheses to the environment (putenv()). DP for Oracle does a getenv() on "TDPO_OPTFILE" which means that if that does not match exactly we do not recognize the parameter. The reason why it appears to work is that by default we look in the installation directory for the tdpo.opt file. The allocate channel command should look like this: allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=C:\Program Files\Tivoli\Tsm\AgentOBA\tdpo.opt)'; Regards, Neil Rasmussen Software Development Data Protection for Oracle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
