Hi, I've installed RMAN 8.1.7 with my db on NT. I also use it to back up another NT cluster instance, also 8.1.7. I also wanted to use it to backup a HPUX 8.1.5 instance but i get an error Target DB is not compatible with version of RMAN. Now I get two answers from Oracle. The first one says that I cannot use RMAN release 8.1.7 on prior versions of Oracle. The second says that I can but refers to note 121125.1 which is not available for public viewing. When I mentioned that note to the first response on a call back she stated that that note doesn't exist. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and any suggestions about how to solve the problem. TIA, mikeo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
