Hi All,

I have just upgraded our 10.2.0.2 databases to 10.2.0.3. I also perfoemed an RMAN catalog upgrade and I got this message after issuing the upgrade catalog command:

RMAN> upgrade catalog

recovery catalog upgraded to version 10.02.00.03
DBMS_RCVMAN package upgraded to version 10.02.00.02
DBMS_RCVCAT package upgraded to version 10.02.00.02

I am just wondering if this is ok or this result is expected. I am not very familiar with RMAN but since the DBMS_RCVMAN and DBMS_RCVCAT is reported to have a version of 10.02.00.02, different from the recover catalog, I am kind of worried if I am on the right the track.

I hope someone could respond to my question.

Thanks in Advance!

Have you started RMAN from the 10.2.0.2 or the 10.2.0.3 binaries? Check if you still have references to your 10.2.0.2 home.

Thanks for the quick response, Frank Naude,

I started rman from 10.2.0.3 binaries. I checked all my environment variables and all of them are pointing to my 10.2.0.3 binaries and SID if that's what you meant.

In that case you should be OK.

Thanks, Frank Naude.

By the way... right before I did the upgrade catalog, I got this messaage the moment I logged in to rman:

connected to recovery catalog database
PL/SQL package RCAT_DEV.DBMS_RCVCAT version 10.02.00.02 in RCVCAT database is not current
PL/SQL package RCAT_DEV.DBMS_RCVMAN version 10.02.00.02 in RCVCAT database is not current

And then I ran the upgrade catalog, exited rman, logged back in again and though the packages mentioned before was reported to have the same version upgraded, I didn't get the same messaage anymore. So perhaps you are right, Frank.

Thanks again Smile

Hi Dreamz,

I am not sure what you mean by re-running those packages. I am not even familiar with what those packages are for and when are they being used. How and why would I re-run those packages?

Hi All,

just an FYI, I ended up creating an SR ticket for this and found out that the upgrade procedure done in rman catalog was not successfull. I was asked to run the script below:

SQL> select comp_name,status,version from dba_registry;

I got this result:

COMP_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STATUS VERSION
----------- ------------------------------
Oracle Database Catalog Views
VALID 10.2.0.3.0

Oracle Database Packages and Types
UPGRADED 10.2.0.3.0

The UPGRADED status is not good.. the correct status after the upgrade should be VALID.. so I was asked to run utlrp.sql again against the database.. after this, the result of the same query above is already a VALID status for both COMP_NAME.

Just thought of posting this as the query above can be helpful to validate the upgrade done on a catalog database.

I hope this can help others.
