I think the default location is

$ORACLE_HOME/database folder.

If you want to override the default path, run cmd below

RMAN> configure channel 1 device type disk format '/data/rman/bakdata/std_%U';
RMAN> configure channel 2 device type disk format '/data/rman/bakdata/std_%U';

Thanks sunil for providing useful links,

I got the answer, but still one question

does RMAN store backup path in any editable file
or database table?

Dear alexzeng & sunil,
I congigure the channnel to new path, But after the backup script is run I found that Backup files are created at its
old default location i.e. $ORACLE_HOME/database folder
Why it is like this? How to change the default path?

FOLLOWING IS THE OUTPUT OF THE COMMANDS I RUN:

RMAN> configure channel 1 device type disk format 'F:\database_bkp\std_%U';
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CHANNEL 1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'F:\database_bkp\std_%U';
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete

RMAN> configure channel 2 device type disk format 'F:\database_bkp\std_%U';

new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'F:\database_bkp\std_%U';
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete

RMAN> Run
2> {allocate channel ch1 type disk;
3> backup tablespace users
4> include current controlfile;}

allocated channel: ch1
channel ch1: sid=15 devtype=DISK

Starting backup at 23-SEP-05
channel ch1: starting full datafile backupset
channel ch1: specifying datafile(s) in backupset
input datafile fno=00009 name=C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ZEN1\USERS01.DBF
including current controlfile in backupset
channel ch1: starting piece 1 at 23-SEP-05
channel ch1: finished piece 1 at 23-SEP-05
piece handle=C:\ORACLE\ORA92\DATABASE\0BGVBKJ9_1_1 comment=NONE
channel ch1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:00:02
Finished backup at 23-SEP-05

Starting Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 23-SEP-05
piece handle=C:\ORACLE\ORA92\DATABASE\C-3326349592-20050923-02 comment=NONE

Check the channel name in the command.
You are specifying this in your backup script:

2> {allocate channel ch1 type disk;


while you are configuring channel as this:

RMAN> configure channel 1 device type disk format 'F:\database_bkp\std_%U';

Hey,

if you are not specifying format in RMAN run block then default location will be Flash_recovery_Area/databasename
