Data Guard - insufficient privileges

Question

Spec:
Windows 2008
Oracle 11.1.0.2
I continue to get an error when running my below RMAN script to create data guard for a very small database.
The error is stating that I don't have privilege to write to the remote server - here is the script and error included below:
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel prmy3 type disk;
3> allocate channel prmy4 type disk;
4> allocate auxiliary channel stby1 type disk;
5> duplicate target database for standby from active database
6> spfile
7> parameter_value_convert 'test1', 'test1'
8> set 'db_unique_name'='test1_coop'
9> set control_files='D:\oradata\test1\control01.ctl'
10> set db_create_file_dest='D:\oradata\test1'
11> set audit_file_dest='C:\app\diag\rdbms\test1'
12> set diagnostic_dest='C:\app\diag\rdbms\test1'
13> set db_create_online_log_dest_1='D:\oradata\test1'
14> set db_recovery_file_dest='D:\Flash_Recovery_Area'
15> set db_recovery_file_dest_size='5G'
16> nofilenamecheck;
17> }
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

Answer 1

The Parameter should be in the INIT file
remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
you mean copy the password from the primary database? Yes! And rename
I have an example - give me a second
If my Primary password file is 'orapwRECOVER2'
I would copy that to the Standby server and rename to orapwSTANDBY ( STANDBY would be your database name )
My path for this is
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbs
It will be different on Windows.
Are you doing an Active Duplicate?

Overview RMAN DUPLICATE FOR STANDBY
1. Standby database need small INIT file for Duplicate in most cases.
2. You can either create a backup on the Primary and move it, or do an Active Duplication
3. The Tnsnames.ora should hold entries for both the Primary and Standby database on BOTH servers.
4. Having a Static listener entry for the Standby ( which does not exist yet is import ) restart the listener
Tnsnames.ora Example
Tnsnames.ora
RECOVER2=
    (DESCRIPTION=
      (ADDRESS=
         (PROTOCOL=TCP)
         (HOST=hostname)
         (PORT=1521)
      (CONNECT_DATA=
         (SERVICE_NAME=RECOVER2.hostname)
         (UR = A)
RECLONE=
    (DESCRIPTION=
      (ADDRESS=
         (PROTOCOL=TCP)
         (HOST=hostname)
         (PORT=1521)
      (CONNECT_DATA=
         (SERVICE_NAME=RECLONE.hostname)
         (UR = A)
Listener.ora Example
BEFORE
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
   (SID_LIST =
       (SID_DESC =
       (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
       (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2)
       (PROGRAM = extproc)
AFTER
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
   (SID_LIST =
       (SID_DESC =
       (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
       (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2)
       (PROGRAM = extproc)
       (SID_DESC =
       (global_dbname = RECLONE.hostname)
       (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2)
       (sid_name = RECLONE)
)So the extra entry for the clone database is needed because otherwise RMAN has nothing to connect to.
Prevent Timeouts
Add these to both servers
To listener.ora
INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_ = 120
To sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 120
Then stop and start the listener.So on the Primary you could make a backup like this :
RUN {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup format 'c:\backups\PRIMARY\df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup format 'c:\backups\PRIMARY\al_t%t_s%s_p%p' archivelog all;
backup current controlfile for standby format 'c:\backups\PRIMARY\sb_t%t_s%s_p%p';
release channel d1;
}And then after moving it to the Standby Server duplicate like this
run {
allocate channel C1 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel C2 device type disk;
duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck;
