RMAN-10038: database session for channel prm3 terminated unexpectedly
Problem: I had an issue where I was trying to build a 1.7 TB Data Guard environment and kept receiving the highlighted error below. I thought it was some type of fluke so I restarted the job 2 more times only to receive the same error. Fix: After researching the issue, I found it was because the sqlnet.ora needed to be configured correctly. I added the entry " SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 10 " to the sqlnet.ora on both the source and the target database servers under the RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin. Upon restarting the RMAN active database standby build, it was able to move past this error and built successfully.
