3.

Start SQL*Plus and type:

connect Recovery_Catalog_Login;

select * from rc_database;

exit

If this fails, start the configuration using Data Protector, or see the Oracle
documentation for information on how to register an Oracle target database in
the recovery catalog database.

Verify backup and restore directly to disk using an RMAN channel type disk:

If you use the recovery catalog:

1.

Export or set the ORACLE_HOME variable as described in

Step 1

on page 140.

2.

Start RMAN from the bin directory in the ORACLE_HOME directory:

rman target Target_Database_Login catalog

Recovery_Catalog_Login cmd_file=rman_script

If you do not use the recovery catalog:

1.

Export or set the ORACLE_HOME variable as described in

Step 1

on page 140.

2.

Start RMAN from the bin directory in the ORACLE_HOME directory:

rman target Target_Database_Login nocatalog

cmd_file=rman_script

An example of the RMAN backup script is presented below:

run {
allocate channel 'dev0' type disk;
backup tablespace tablespace_name format
'ORACLE_HOME/tmp/datafile_name';
}

After a successful backup, try to restore the backed up tablespace by running the
following restore script:

run {
allocate channel 'dev0' type disk;
sql 'alter tablespace tablespace_name offline immediate';
restore tablespace tablespace_name;
recover tablespace tablespace_name;
sql 'alter tablespace tablespace_name online';release channel 'dev0';
}

If this fails, see the Oracle documentation for details on how to execute a backup
and restore directly to disk using RMAN.
