Oracle RMAN backup job fails where backup is done through RMAN script in job but there is no back (81832)

Affected Product: Netvault Backup 8.22 +
OS Version: ALL
Plugin version: 6.x
Application version: N/A

Description: Oracle RMAN backup job fails where backup is done through RMAN script in job but there is no backup data selection within Netvault

Versions: 8.22 +

Symptoms:
With older versions of the Oracle plugin it was possible to call an RMAN script under the plugin - Post Backup Scripts - option and run this through running the job without actually selecting any data to be backed up within Netvault. This is not possible with latter versions of the plugin and although Recovery Manager completes within the script the job will fail:

The solution is simply to run the RMAN script completely outside of Netvault if the intention is just to use RMAN itself for the Backup, or to actually select data for Backup within Netvaults Oracle plugin in the same way as for any other backup
