On page 204 of Oracle9i RMAN Backup and Recovery (available on Amazon!) the answer is written thusly:

When using database version 8.1.7
When using RMAN version 8.1.x
Catalog Schema requirement:

Oracle 8.1.x (or later) catalog database, with a catalog schema created by an RMAN version that is equivalent to or greater than the RMAN version being used to back up the database.

In other words, if you are using 8.1.7 RMAN, then you need to use a recovery catalog schema created by and RMAN executable that is also 8.1.7 or later.

DBAs,

I experienced following while trying to test interoperatibility between 816 and 817.

Any comments, experiences?

Target -> 817 Catalog -> 816

---

rman rcvcat rman/rman_at_rcatqual
connect target

register database;

.

RMAN-06429: RCVCAT database is not compatible with this version of RMAN
.

---

---

Target -> 816 Catalog -> 817

---

rman rcvcat rman/rman_at_rcattest
connect target

register database;

.

RMAN-08006: database registered in recovery catalog
.
