Troubleshooting restore failure due to FORMAT specification

An RMAN restore of the following types of backups might fail when the FORMAT specification contains a dot or period (.) character as a prefix:

  • Self-service Oracle RMAN agent backup performed with the RMAN BACKUP command.
  • Centralized Oracle RMAN agent backup through a PowerProtect Data Manager protection policy with a control file autobackup.

To prevent this issue, do not start the FORMAT specification with a dot or period (.) character.
