1. first check the Packages DBMS_RCVCAT  DBMS_RCVMAN are valid.
2. The error occured communicating via sqlnet 
   to the catalog database. Try: 
       rman target / nocatalog 
   Then run your script.
   Find out what broke the connection to the catalog. 
   Trace sqlnet to see where the error starts. 
   or
   run rman in debug mode.

Hello !!!
I should precise that I use a recovery catalog which is in the same database that th eone i am backuping.
And I can connect to my catalog and execute some rman commands such list backup, crosscheck ...
But don't u think that it's because I have sutted down the database that I cannot connect to anymore ?
I had red about disadvantage of having a catalog on the same database that the one to be backedp up ..but never read that it is not possible to restore ....
So how to troubleshoot it ?
I have checked the dbms_rcvcat and dbms_dcvrman pachages and they are valid.
any Idea ???
