Johnson - Congratulations on solving your problem and thank you for sharing the solution with the rest of us that are in the same boat. When you say you are taking a backup of the control files after the regular backup, are you backing the control files up with RMAN or with the system command?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 9:13 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Thanks to all who replied. I got a lot of hints from all. The problem I had was because I was not separately backuping up the control files. I was relying on the control files backup included in the full database backups. These control files do not have details about the current backup. So when that control file is restored, since it does not have a details about the latest backup to disk(backup to disk was done for test purpose, this database was beeing backed up to tape), and since according to it the lastest backup was to tape, it was looking for channel to go to tape and finding none gave the 'no channel error'. The remedy is to take backup of control files after the backup regular backups (tested works fine). or use recovery catalog and use auxliary connection (still to test). In 9i setting autobackup on does a separate backup of the control file. --- Ruth Gramolini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do you have your backup restored to the box you are > trying to restore from? > I > Have you build a database to hold the restored data? > If so, are all of the tablespaces and datafiles the > same name on the box you > are restoring to? > We need more information to help you further. > > Regards, > Ruth > > > ----- Original Message ----- > To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 11:18 AM > > > They are alluding it to a possibilty that RMAN > cannot > find the backup piece and just before showing the > error it realeasing channels and that releasing > channels per se does not point to any problem. > > --- DENNIS WILLIAMS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Johnson - Did Oracle Support offer any theories on > > why the RMAN channels > > were being spontaneously released?
