Oracle Error RMAN-10040: asynchronous support not detected, RMAN will run synchronously

Oracle Error Message

RMAN-10040: asynchronous support not detected, RMAN will run synchronously

Reason for the Error

The database connection does not support asynchronous operation, so RMAN will not multi-task work among multiple channels. Multiple channels can still be allocated, but they will not run work concurrently.

Solution

Use a connection type that supports asynchronous operations.
