Bob,
Thanks for your post. I found the files and deleted them(windows cell manager) that DP created for each of our 2 unix nodes and that cleared the form when I fired DP up and began adding the job. However I still get the same error. I tried choosing the use control file option vs the rman catalog option but it still gives me the rman invalid username and password error. Again I verified that the username and password works and here me showing my work:
