IF you set your ORACLE_SID to the target database as the Oracle user, all you have to do is say >RMAN connect target and it will automatically connect. If you are working from the command line you connect user_with_sysdba_privs/[EMAIL PROTECTED] and you will be connected. If does not recognize the "as sysdba".
