Hey all,

This should be easy but I'm just not seeing it...

box a: win2k3, Oracle 9.2 catalog db, rman box b: aix 5.2L, Oracle 9.2 db

C:\>set ORACLE_SID=pmmtst

C:\>rman rcvcat=rman/asdf_at_catdb

Recovery Manager: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production

connected to recovery catalog database
RMAN> connect target

RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

The tns entry is as follows:
PMMTST.UBI.URBANBRANDS.COM =
  (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =

      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pmm)(PORT = 1521))     )
(CONNECT_DATA =

      (SERVICE_NAME = pmmtst)
    )
  )

I can connect via sqlplus and tnsping resolves the pmmtst database OK. I have rebooted the win2k3 machine.
The entry in the dns is fine.
I have no problems connecting to other db's from the catalog machine.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
