While restoring from an RMAN backup it’s failing with the following error.

Example : –

RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile 2
RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile 1Solution
There are two ways the issue can be resolved.
First – Catalog the backup files in RMAN so that they can be identified during a restore operation.
rman target /
RMAN>CATALOG START WITH '/RMAN_BACKUP/';
Second – The other option can be below one
run
{
allocate channel ch1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/RMAN_BACKUP/%U';
allocate channel ch2 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/RMAN_BACKUP/%U';
restore database;
recover database;
release channel ch1;
release channel ch2;
}
Hope this will be helpful to resolve the issue.
