John, Jack, Tom, Jay and all those who replied,
Thanks so much for ur help. I have been able to resolve my problem. I was
connecting
to both the target and auxiliary databases with '/' as the connect string
and as a result,
RMAN was getting confused. I had to necessarily create a password file and
connect to RMAN
using the connect string :
rman target / catalog rman_sid1/rman_sid1@rman817 auxiliary
internel/password@test
as John and Jay suggested.
I also had to put an entry in the tnsnames.ora file for the service name of
the auxiliary db which was named 'test'.
I also added an entry for the auxiliary db in the listener.ora and restarted
it.
As for the script, I had to make another change......the line :
duplicate target database to test
had to be modified to : duplicate target database to "test"
The Restore operation is in progress now.......its a big db so it will take
some time.....will bother you
folks again if it fails ;-)
Regards,
Samir
