Oracle Error Message
RMAN-00577: PIPE requires that TARGET be specified on the command line
Reason for the Error
The PIPE option obtains its input from, and writes its output to, an Oracle database pipe in the target database. Therefore, the target database connection must be specified on the command line, so that RMAN can connect to the target database to receive its input from the pipe.
Solution
Specify the TARGET option on the RMAN command line.
