You can upgrade the 816 catalog to be 817 compliant with the command RMAN > upgrade catalog
You need to be connected to an 8.1.7 target first to do this. It effectively recreates two packages
DBMS_RCVMAN and DBMS_RCVCAT

Rachna - Yes, RMAN is VERY picky about Oracle versions. What I understand is that you are trying to use an 816 catalog to back up an 817 database. I think that you usually must keep your catalog at the level of the target database or higher. In other words, you could use an 817 catalog db to back up an 816 target, but not the other way around.

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;
