Lisa,
I believe when you create the catalog you can
specify a compatibility level. Haven't tried it myself so you'd have to check
the B&R/RMAN docs for details. We went with an 805 catalog for our 805 sids
and an 816 for our 816 (and hopefully beyond) sids, don't have anything in
between. But I believe the rman executable must be the same version as the sid
even if one catalog services all.

Subject: RE: RMAN
Aren't there problems though, if you're running different
versions? For example, we are running 8.1.6 and 8.1.5 database
instances. I had installed 8.1.6 RMAN, but it won't let me register the
8.1.5 version in the catalog. Does anybody know of a workaround - short
of upgrading our 8.1.5 database?

Hi, William,
I used to have may
rman backups since 8.0.5, and I could say, 8.1.6 makes
a BIG difference. It is much more stable and worth to go, especially
if you have big/frequantly updated database. Even 8.1.5 is
well behind 8.1.6. My preference is to have rman
backup information in catalog rather than controlfile.
Anytime you can export it and restore to any database, <FONT

8.1.6 on Solaris + NetBackup.

Hi,
At one time, I had implemented RMAN in my
8.0 environment. It had some bugs, so I went back to
my old way of doing backups. Now that I have upgraded
to 8.1.6, I was thinking of re-implementing RMAN. But some of the
discussion here implies that there are still problems. Can
someone elaborate on all of this so we might make an
informed decision?
