I am Oracle 11.1.0.7.1, My rman catalog is also on same Oracle
Release. I have following simple script to backup archived logs: (see
later), but this script  smetime errors and generate following errors,
but problem is rman gets in some infinite loop and keeps generating
same error messages over and over again. By the time I relized rman is
giving errors, my logfile was more than  2GB. I have never seen this
problem with eralier releases


RMAN-00571:
===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS
===============
RMAN-00571:
===========================================================
RMAN-00558: error encountered while parsing input commands
RMAN-01006: error signaled during parse
RMAN-02005: token too big


now is the script

rman  << ! >> $TMPRLOG 2>&1
set echo on
connect target  $TRGSTR
connect catalog  $RCATCONN

run {
allocate channel ch1 type $CHANNEL_TYPE;
backup as compressed backupset
archivelog like '$ARCHDIR/%.arc'  format '${RMBKUPDIR}arlog_%U%_%t'
delete input;
}

Here is the output in rman log file. THis command works most of the
time, once in a while Weird error occurs, trying to find why :

RMAN> connect catalog *
connected to recovery catalog database

RMAN>

RMAN> run {
2>
3> allocate channel ch1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
4>
5> backup as compressed backupset
6> archivelog like '/pqmsprd/oraarch/pqmsp/%.arc' format 'arlog_%U%_
%t'
7> delete input;
8> }

I would put a session trace on your RMAN session, then run it.  The
"error encountered during parse" exception may get you somewhere in
the underlying trace file.
