Hi all,

I submit backup jobs via OEM, using a RMAN recovery catalog.

The jobs fails on the agents with syntax errors, giving the following output in the OEM console:
.
.

switch logfile executed

Argument Value Description

---

target quoted-string connect-string for target database rcvcat quoted-string connect-string for recovery catalog debug none if specified, activate debugging mode cmdfile quoted-string name of input command file msglog quoted-string name of output message log file trace quoted-string name of output debugging message log file append none if specified, msglog opened in append mode nocatalog none if specified, then no recovery catalog

---

Both single and double quotes (' or ") are accepted for a quoted-string. Quotes are not required unless the string contains embedded white-space.

RMAN-00552: syntax error in command line arguments 

RMAN-01006: error signalled during parse RMAN-02003: unrecognized character:
child process exited abnormally

*But*, submitting the backup jobs (OEM & RMAN) via controlfile in the database, works OK.  

I'm using Oracle 8i EE 8.1.7 on all the nodes and OEM 2.2.0.0 (mgmt server & agents)

Any ideas?
