I installed TDP Oracle on a 8i server, windows and things ran just fine for about a week. Then a couple days ago the backup started receiving the following error with the RESYNC command:
ORA-19550 cannot use backup/restore functions while using dispatcher Cause: An attempt was made to use backup/restore functions while connected to the dispatcher in a shared server. This is not allowed because the device that is used for backup and restore must remain allocated to a single process. Action: Connect directly to the instance then re-execute the backup or restore function. Our RMAN script does: RESYNC allocate channel BACKUP FULL DATABASE ALTER archive log current backup archivelog delete input release channel Been working just fine, then this error came up. The DBA is more comfortable with DB2 and he can't help much. Searched ADSM-L, but didn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.
