what is the impact of "processes" parameter on RMAN related to performance/resources.
kind regards,

I read in the oracle supplied documentation which is as under.
RMAN Usage Considerations
Before Recovery Manager is used, consider the following points:
Shared resources on the system:
Most of the work of RMAN is performed through Oracle database processes. The operations can also be performed in parallel to increase throughput. This implies that the PROCESSES database parameter must be sufficiently high.
For the operating systemresources, this means that shared memory and semaphore settings may need to be increased.

RMAN performs backups through "channels": a channel is a server session, just like any other. So if you launch a backup job with ten channels, RMAN logs on ten times, creating ten sessions. Each session needs a process, so you need to be sure that the PROCESSES parameter (which limits the number of processes permitted) must be high enough to allow these sessions in addition to the usual workload. A related parameter is SESSIONS, you should read up on that, too.
Update: I just noticed that you are working on Windows, I think semaphores and shared memory are aoplicable only to Unix/Linux.
