startup mountWhy the shutdown? are you running in norachivelog mode?

allocate channel t1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/backuplocation/DB1RMAN/%U' ;Above not needed if you set it as part of the rman config:
oracle> rman target /
rman> CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK FORMAT '/backuplocation/DB1RMAN/%U';
# Perform full database backup
backup Database format '/backuplocation/DB1RMAN/%d_FULL_%U.bck';Your use of "format" is redundant with your channel allocation.
# Open database after backup complete
sql 'alter database open';
sql 'ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE';No need to shell out to sql. those commands are accepted directly by rman.
RMAN> startup mount;
connected to target database (not started)
Oracle instance started
database mounted

}I'd strongly suggest you go to amazon.com and look up the books on rman backup and recovery by Hart and Freeman. You are making waaay too much work for yourself.
