How are you connecting to the database in the cold_database_backup_NUKESH.cmd file? You should verify that you can connect to the database with SQL*Plus using the same connect information.

Hi ebrian,

Thanks for reply. Actually i gave this script path to our TCC group to run it from netbackup console. I use RMAN catalog server. I check connectivity by following command to rman repository from the db server.

rman target sys/pwd@dbname.world catalog rman/rman@myrman.world

It is working perfectly. other backups (hot backup and archivelog backup) are also working well.

If you want to have look at cold backup script, i can send that.

Cheers!!
Nukesh

So does the .cmd reside on the NetBackup server or the database server?

ORA-12154 typically indicates that tnsnames can not resolve the name specified in the connect string. Have you verified that the environment variables and connection string are appropriately set in the .cmd file?

Can you connect with the same connect string used in the .cmd file? Have you tried to run the .cmd manually?

I can't run command manually. It has to be run from netbackup console with policy. I am attaching script, problem definitly lies in only scrip as other backup are running smoothly. i am probably unable to figure it out what's missing.

Thanks

It appears that rman is trying to connect to NTHEPROD.WROLD. I assume this is spelled wrong ?

Can you connect on the database server as:

rman target sys/pwd@NTHEPROD.WROLD

No wonder if i can do such silly spelling mistakes. I am sure this is the problem as 'WORLD' is default domain here. Thanks for pointing out this.

rman target sys/pwd@dbname.world catalog rman/rman@myrman.world is working as it has correct spelling.

I will check in the morning and let you know.

Thanks Again!!

Cheers
