If i run a simple batch script called jim.cmd (On an NT server) the script works fine but if i try to run the same batch script in say a few mins time using the "at" command i get the error messages "RMAN-04005: error from target database" and "ORA-01031: Insufficient Privileges".

The jim.cmd file contains :-
set ORACLE_SID=imptest
rman < e:jim.sql > e:jimlog

The jim.sql contains :-
connect target /
connect catalog rman/password@rmandb
print script Backupimptest;

If i just type in jim.cmd on the command line the script runs ok and jimlog contains the correct info.

If i do "at 11:55 e:jim.cmd" the script runs but produces the above errors. RMAN does connect to the recovery catalog database though.

We're using Oracle 8i on an NT 4 server. I'm logged on as the administrator.

When i run jim.cmd using the "at" command" jimlog contains :-

this is bug. Workaround is
to create a passwordfile using orapwd utility
then add initsid.ora entry and restart.
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE
grant sysdba/sysoper to RMAN user
svrmgrl> grant sysdba to <user>;
svrmgrl> grant sysoper to <user>;
Now try again.

I've tried your fix but it did not work. I did :-

e: orapwd file=e:oracleora81databasepwdimptest.ora password=change_on_install entries=5
e: set ORACLE_SID=imptest
e: sqlplus internal
SQL> grant sysdba to sys;
SQL> grant sysoper to sys;

Also the parameter file had the entry "remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive" already set and i shutdown and restarted the implive database.

I did the above for the rmandb database as well.

It now works after setting up the password file etc. I had to amend jim.sql and change "connect target /" to "connect target sys/change_on_install" and now the script runs ok. The script still fails with the RMAN-04005 error if i code "connect target /" in the file. I'll stick with coding "connect target sys/change_on_install" in the jim.sql file from now on.

Thanks very much for your help Mahesh.

Also, if you have installed the grid control agent, check that it's directories in the path are specified AFTER the standard Oracle bin directories.

Yes I know I responded to an old post, but that's because people with the same problem still find the post via google, and I wanted to share how I resolved the problem. Smile

Some/many/most Original Posters NEVER search for solution before postings their FAQ again, again, again.

This is precisely why FAQ forums exist. QED!

IF any of the above comments won't help u ...then

you should check whether your current logged in ( operating system ) user is member of ora_dba group in windows os.Administrator of the server can add you to ORA_DBA Group
