I installed TDP Oracle on a 8i server, windows and things ran just fine for
about a week. Then a couple days  ago the backup started receiving the
following error with the RESYNC command:

ORA-19550 cannot use backup/restore functions while using dispatcher

Cause: An attempt was made to use backup/restore functions while connected
to the dispatcher in a shared server. This is not allowed because the
device that
is used for backup and restore must remain allocated to a single process.

Action: Connect directly to the instance then re-execute the backup or
restore function.


Our RMAN script does:
        RESYNC
        allocate channel
        BACKUP FULL DATABASE
        ALTER archive log current
        backup archivelog delete input
        release channel

Been working just fine, then this error came up. The DBA is more comfortable
with DB2 and he can't help much. Searched ADSM-L, but didn't find anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
