Ruth, >Set you ORACLE_SID which will be the target and try again.
c:> set ORACLE_SID=AUX92 AUX92 is the name of my auxiliary instance on Host A ( target host ). c:> rman target [EMAIL PROTECTED] catalog [EMAIL PROTECTED] auxiliary sys trace=c:\tspitr.log where "PE92" is the target on same Host A and "LAT92" is my recovery catalog on a diff. host. This is what metalink doc. 180436.1 says: "rman target sys/[EMAIL PROTECTED] catalog rman/[EMAIL PROTECTED] auxiliary / trace=d:\tspitr.log" >It looks like you don't have your ORACLE_SID specified correctly since, if I >read this correctly, the database you are trying to restore is on dick c:. my target database is in d:\oracle\ but even then where did this path come from ?? ORA-19504: failed to create file "D:\ORACLE\ORA92\DATABASE\;\SYSTEM01.DBF" those ;\ in the path look strange and wonder oracle appends that ?? any clues Ruth.just stuck up here and not able to proceed further. i tried it repeatedly. Thanx once again.
