I am facing a very strange problem. I have create a OS user with DBA rights. When I am invoking rman I am getting this error - ORACLE_HOME is not set properly. But for last 30 hours, I have done all experiments with environmnet variables. This is the command =>

$ rman

Message file RMAN<lang>.msb not found

Verify that ORACLE_HOME is set properly

This is the ENV setup.

$ env | grep ORA
ORACLE_SID=FCC2
ORACLE_HOME=/apps/oracle/ora10g_home

$ env | grep PATH
PATH=/apps/oracle/ora10g_home/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/patanad1/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.
LOCPATH=/usr/lib/nls/loc
NLSPATH=/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N:/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat
$

I will be obliged for a solutions for my everest problem.

In certain systems, there is *another* rman utility.

[mag@kalyani mag]$ which rman
/usr/X11R6/bin/rman

Remove this reference in your PATH.
Set your ORACLE_HOME.
set your PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin.
logout and login.
try again.

>USER=patanad1
FWIW - I only invoke "rman" when logged on as user "oracle"; which owns the $ORACLE_HOME tree & it works for me.

Yeah, Me too. But it is necessary to log into RMAN using the ORACLE userid?? I want that my operator will run the RMAN script in night. I dont want him to log in as ORACLE user.

You understand my plight.

patanad1 has dba and oinstall rights (AIX OS).

>Yeah, Me too
If you mean by that statement rman performs as desired when invoked by user "oracle", this means the problem for user "patanad1" is strictly an OS permissions issue & does NOT really involve any Oracle software directly.

when I was giving RMAN command, error output like this :

"$ rman

Message file RMAN<lang>.msb not found

Verify that ORACLE_HOME is set properly"

I was doing setting the environment variables. But there was no luck. But I took help of experts like you.

I changed to the root user and changed the access mode of two directory and three files as below :

There are two directories (admin, mesg) on $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms directory. For groups and others it was set as drwx------.

so I changed into
drwxr-xr-x 2 ora10g dba 57344 May 13 2007 admin
drwxr-xr-x 2 ora10g dba 4096 May 13 2007 mesg
(chmod 755 admin,mesg)

in admin directory there is a file called recover.bsq.

I changed that mode too (chmod 666 recover.bsq).

-rw-rw-rw- 1 ora10g dba 1892533 Oct 27 2006 recover.bsq

then chaged the mode of two files (rmanus.msb & rmanus.msg) in mesg ($ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg )directory.

-rw-r--r-- 1 ora10g dba 90624 Oct 27 2006 rmanus.msb
-rw-r----- 1 ora10g dba 333956 Jun 30 2005 rmanus.msg

(chmod 644 rmanus.msb
chmod 640 rmanus.msg)

after that RMAN worked.

I really indebted to dreamzZ (the most valuable person), anacedent (clue master) and Mahesh Rajendran.

Thanks again to everybody who are in this room.

MORAL OF THE STORY : When a file is not found.. just check the user's right on that directory and concerned files. Oracle gives silly explanation which can take lot of energy and time. It is better to search files with root access. With normal user ID, I searched those files many times but could not find them.
