Backups Appear to Fail in the RMAN Console

Valid on UNIX and Linux platforms.

Symptom:

Oracle RMAN backups complete successfully when submitted from the Backup Manager. However, when you submit the same jobs from the RMAN Console, the backup jobs fail.

Solution:

This is expected behavior.

When you submit Oracle RMAN backups using the Backup Manager, Oracle equivalence is not required. However, when you submit Oracle RMAN backups from the RMAN Console, Oracle RMAN equivalence is required, and the child jobs associated with the backup cannot complete successfully.
