Unfortunately, this is a limitation of NBU's Oracle agent. The exit
status that you see in the activity monitor is not necessarily the exit
status of your backup. It is the exit status of the SCRIPT that NBU
runs, which kicks off your RMAN backup.
What we did to get around this, was to build one monolithic script,
which parses input passed to it from NBU when any given Oracle policy
runs. Based on that (and a few other proprietary things), the script
shuts down the apps associated with the SID that is about to be backed
up, shuts down the SID, brings it up in startup mount mode, then builds
and executes the RMAN code.
The "trick", that we coded in, was that if RMAN fails, the script will
exit with an artificial exit code, which in turn, gets passed to the
activity monitor.
Now, anyone that looks at the activity monitor, can trust the exit
status of any given Oracle backup.
