ZDB_ORA_NO_CHECKCONF_IR omnirc variables and ignore the warning.

Backup
Creating backup templates
You can create backup templates to apply the same scheduling options to a number
of backup specifications. This allows you to apply the scheduling options to a backup
specification with a few mouse clicks, rather than having to specify them over and
over again.
To create a new backup template, proceed as follows:
1. In the Application Recovery Manager GUI, switch to the Backup context.
2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup and then Templates, and then right-click
Oracle Server.
3. Click Add Template. Follow the wizard to define the appropriate scheduling
options in your template.
Creating backup specifications
Online backup
To perform an online backup of an Oracle database, the database has to run in the
ARCHIVELOG mode.
Cluster-aware clients
Before you perform an offline backup in a cluster environment, take the Oracle
Database resource offline and bring it back online after the backup. This can be
done using the Oracle fscmd command line interface commands in the Pre-exec
and Post-exec commands for the client system in a particular backup specification,
or by using the Cluster Administrator.
