Hi and thank-you for your suggestions. I have checked both the rman username/password and the username/password for the db user and both are ok yet DP keeps stating that error. It's like DP is stuck. I tried deleting the job and readding it. Something is stuck somewhere because when I clicked the first next while setting up a new job all the configuration fields are filled in with the job I deleted. I tried logging out of DP and the host it is on and back on and it still seems to "remember" the configs for that job. This seems very strange, it should not do that.
Any other ideas?
Thx,
Dave
