Hi,
Forgive my ignorance but if I look at your connect string you connect to both the target as auxiliary with the / This in my opinion means that they both connect to the same instance and judging from the error and what you wrote it looks as if you are connecting to production with your auxiliary connection. Be glad it fails!!!

If so, how do I specify the connect string correctly ?? The auxiliary is DEFINITELY not mounted here since I have started it in NOMOUNT mode. The target db is the one I am trying to duplicate and the auxiliary db is the duplicate db I am attempting to create. The target db is obviously open. I am not using a password file since I am working directly on the server.

Scrap the shell script, put your "run" script into a file, run RMAN from the command line and call the rman "run" script that you just created.. Also, set NLS_DATE_FORMAT and NLS_LANG. Depending on your database version the "to_date" function will not work as you have it in "set until time". Jay >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/08/02 09:43AM >>> Dear All, I am totally out of my depth here and this is a production db which needs to be restored urgently. I shall explain my scenario first. Our application team had lost some data after last Wednesday night's backup. They have a tool to have a dump of the data from the database from which they can extract the data if needed. This dump was taken on Thursday morning. Due to some ***hole they lost some more data on Thursday during the day. They recovered this data from the database dump which they had taken on Thursday morning. They now want the data which was lost on Wednesday. Since there was no database dump available prior to this, I suggested that we can create a duplicate database upto a point of time (as on Wednesday night) to a different location on the server. They could then take a database dump with their tool and extract the lost records. This is my script which I compiled with help from Metalink and an old post from John Hallas (the backup of our target database is taken on tape with Veritas Netbackup) : #!/bin/ksh rman target / catalog rman_sid1/rman_sid1@rman817 auxiliary / run { set until time "to_date('20-MAR-2002 20:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS)"; allocate channel c_dlt1 type 'SBT_TAPE'; allocate auxiliary channel dupdb_d1 type disk; setlimit channel c_dlt1 kbytes 67108864 maxopenfiles 128 readrate 256; setlimit channel dupdb_d1 kbytes 67108864 maxopenfiles 128 readrate 256; set newname for datafile '/disk01/oradata/sid1/data/system01sid1.dbf' to '/disk01/oradata/test/data/system01sid1.dbf'; set newname for datafile '/disk01/oradata/sid1/data/rbs01sid1.dbf' to '/disk01/oradata/test/data/rbs01sid1.dbf'; set newname for datafile '/disk01/oradata/sid1/data/temp01sid1.dbf' to '/disk01/oradata/test/data/temp01sid1.dbf'; set newname for datafile '/disk01/oradata/sid1/data/tools01sid1.dbf' to '/disk01/oradata/test/data/tools01sid1.dbf'; set newname for datafile '/disk01/oradata/sid1/data/users01sid1.dbf' to '/disk01/oradata/test/data/users01sid1.dbf'; duplicate target database to test logfile group 1 '/disk03/oradata/test/logs/log01a01sid1.dbf' size 180M, group 2 '/disk03/oradata/test/logs/log02a01sid1.dbf' size 180M, group 3 '/disk03/oradata/test/logs/log03a01sid1.dbf' size 180M; } What happens is that RMAN connects to the target, catalog and auxiliary database and goes into the RMAN prompt and just hangs there........after some time, when I type 'exit' there out of frustration, I get the following errors : ./create_dupdb.sh[5]: run: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[9]: allocate: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[11]: allocate: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[13]: setlimit: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[14]: setlimit: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[17]: /disk01/oradata/sid1/data/system01sid1.dbf: cannot execute ./create_dupdb.sh[18]: to: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[21]: /disk01/oradata/sid1/data/rbs01sid1.dbf: cannot execute ./create_dupdb.sh[22]: to: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[29]: /disk01/oradata/sid1/data/temp01sid1.dbf: cannot execute ./create_dupdb.sh[30]: to: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[33]: /disk01/oradata/sid1/data/tools01sid1.dbf: cannot execute ./create_dupdb.sh[34]: to: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[37]: /disk01/oradata/sid1/data/users01sid1.dbf: cannot execute ./create_dupdb.sh[38]: to: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[77]: duplicate: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[79]: logfile: not found ./create_dupdb.sh[80]: group: cannot execute ./create_dupdb.sh[81]: group: cannot execute ./create_dupdb.sh[82]: group: cannot execute ./create_dupdb.sh[83]: syntax error at line 84 : `}' unexpected Could anybody please help me in identifying what is the problem and why does it say 'run:not found' and the other subsequent lines ??
