Getting errot "rman: can't open catalog"

Hi,
I am using oracle 10.2.0.1 on Linux AS4 platform. To configure RMAN i am following the steps meintioned on websit "http://www.dbapool.com/forumthread/topic_97.html" I had created rman user with default tablespace as rman_ts and granted the privilage RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER.
At command prompt after sourceing the environment variable i typed the command "rman catalog rman/rman" i am getting the following error.
Can someone suggest me the way out for the error.
Thanks

Hi,
I am wondering why you are using a 8i specific article to configure a 10g database.
The correct procedure is here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmcatdb001.htm
You will notice you need to run the
CREATE CATALOG command.

  • Rman: can't open catalog

    Hi, Completely new to all this rman stuff. Reading up in the Oracel Database 10g DBA Handbook which has a step by step on RMAN. I have failed at the first hurdle, getting error message "rman: can't open catalog" when I type "rman catalog rman/rman001" havingf set up the Oracle SID alreafy. If I type "rman" and nothing else the sessions hangs?
    Any thoughts and advice most welcome.

    export ORACLE_SID
    export ORACLE_HOME
    export PATH
    export ORACLE_BASE
    Now Create RMAN catalog
    1. Create tablespace specific for rman catalog
    2. Create user schema specific for rman repository
    3. Grant connect,resource,sysdba,recovery_catalog_owner roles to rmanuser
    4. Now connect using RMAN utility
    rman target rmanuser/password@sid catalog rmanuser/password@sid
    5. On RMAN prompt now create the catalog using 'CREATE CATALOG' command
    6. Register database;
    Now RMAN catalog is ready. If you start taking backup the information about the backup sets will go to the catalog in the schema that you created. Controlfile is the default repository for RMAN. You can work with RMAN witout catalog aswell. For advantages/disadvantages go to http://oracle.com/technology
    documentation section and download RMAN documents.

  • Rman: can't open target

    Hi,
    can someone help me out with this issue.
    When i try to invoke
    $ rman target /
    rman: can't open target
    $which rman
    /usr/X11R6/bin/rman
    $echo $PATH

  • I am unable to open Photo on my MacBook Pro after installing ilife 11 from a disc.  The message I get says "you can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete.  What can I do?!

    I am unable to open iPhoto on my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.9.3)  after installing ilife 11 from a disc.  The message I get is "you can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete.  What can I do?!  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Reinstall it.This time delete the receipts first.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    Important:
    As you're on 10.9.3 you'll need to update iPhoto to v9.5 before opening it. Use Software update.

  • I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

    I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I access all of my save Word documents?  I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004).  If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

    Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • I am getting a message "can't open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"  What do I do about these programs?

    I am getting a message "can't open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  What do I do about these programs?

    In defense of the original poster, I just went through the Lion page (http://www.apple.com/macosx/) and the sub-pages linked on the top (including the 250 new features) and nowhere does it say anything about dropping Rosetta/PowerPC compatibility. A simple compatibility line in the tech specs page could help these kinds of threads. Nevertheless, the argument that Apple should have made this change more prominent is quite valid IMO.
    Remember that Apple prides itself on being simple so don't expect everyone to be as up to date on compatibility issues as you. With the big uptake of new users in the last couple of years, these kind of questions should be expected, especially since most users are coming from Windows where compatibility is king (I can run apps from 10+ years ago with almost no issues).
    Complicating the issue further is that there is no obvious way to see which older applications are PPC and which are not (who knew Warcraft 3 was PPC and not universal??).
    A simple solution could be for Apple to provide copy of Rosetta that users can purchase if they want compatibility. Who knows, maybe such a solution is going to come from a third party

    ;You can’t open the application “eFax Messenger” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    when is hp, efax, or apple getting their act together to fix the issue?

    Hi,
    The eFax service provided with the HP device is a remote cloud feature and have nothing to do with installing any software on your computer.
    Any software named eFax you may trying to install is not affilated with HP in any way, as well I doubt if it is affilated with the eFax service in any manner.
    In order to enable and use the eFax feature please follow the steps below:

  • PSE 12 - Can't open catalog - some internal programming error. Can NOT open PSE 12 organizer

    Can not pass Catalog manager - Can't open catalog - sez an internal programming error occurred?????

    Yes, it seems like a problem with the main catalog.  I haven't seen a failed conversion before that didn't write a conversion log.  So there aren't many clues to go on.  I have just one more suggestion -- run the utility psedbtool on your PSE 6 catalog:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/
    Because you have both PSE 6 and 8 installed, you'll have to run it specially:
    1. Start PSE 6 and do Help > System Info to find the folder path of your PSE 6 catalog folder.
    2. Start a command prompt.
    3. Type these two commands:
    cd c:\psedbtool
    .\psedbtool -printVolumeTable > output.log
    4. Copy and paste the contents of c:\psedbtool\output.log here.

  • Can't open catalog

    Hi, new to Lightroom so bear with me. Since I'm using Lightrom on my own desktop as well as at school, I have the catalog stored on an externel drive. I've opened it up from the external drive using several differnet computers but just now it won't let me open the catalog saying "The Lightroom catalog named "Stephen+Catalog" can't be opened because it is currently open in another application." As far as I know it is not open anywhere else. Plugged the external drive into another computer and got the same error message. Makes no sense. Help! Thanks in advance.
