Unable to perform the backup because the database is closed

edited Jul 9, 2009 3:51AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
I am trying to run a backup using  database control in Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.3). I got this error message: Unable to perform the backup because the database is closed.
The suggestions in this link did not help:

The database definitely is open. I can run backup through RMAN without any problem:

RMAN> run { backup database; }
Starting backup at 06-JUL-09
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
...

What might be wrong?

Thanks,
