Hi,

I am using Oracle Version 8.1.7 for making backup via RMAN. First I connect to SQLPLUS via:

SQL> Connect SYSTEM/MANAGER_at_TEST

Then I issue the following command on SQL prompt:

SQL> host rman target user/pw nocatalog

RMAN-06005: connected to target database: TEST (DBID=1817902599) RMAN-06009: using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog

So, I connected to RMAN.
As far as my knowledge, it’s implicitly got the target username and password from the first connection, which I gave to connect to database in the beginning.(system/manager). With regards to this, if I want to give the database alias implicitly, what syntax I add in the command.

For Example:

SQL> host rman target user/pw_at_dbname nocatalog

I like to remind you that I wanted to use the database connection implicitly.

Could someone suggest?

Regards
