Re: Steps to Upgrade Rman Catalog Database.

You would normally as oracle recommended practice keep your oracle catalog the same or a level up from the highest version of the database you have this helps in making sure all you databases can me backed up successfully with no compatibility issues . Brad has provided the steps to upgrade the catalog

I've always just kept the catalog database at the latest version, per what you've read. So, before I deploy a patchset to an actual database:

1. patch the Oracle_home for the Recovery Catalog and follow the patch procedures for the database.
2. RMAN catalog=username/password
3. upgrade catalog;

You should be able to find a compatibility matrix for Catalog versions and rman client versions on Metalink. I've never seen a reason to have multiple catalogs on one database, YMMV.

We have created a new Oracle 10.2.0.3 rman recovery catalog which works fine with our Oracle 9 and 10 (10.2.0.3) databases on Solaris Server

Problem is that I also just created a new installation of Oracle 10.2.0.4 on a new Solaris server but I can't seem to register my new database from this server. I get the following message when I connect from the 10.2.0.4 client to the 10.2.0.3 RMAN catalog database:

$ rman target sys/$SYS catalog rman/xxxxxxx_at_ccrcat

Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Tue May 27 09:50:14 2008

connected to target database: ASCT (DBID=2479914243) connected to recovery catalog database
PL/SQL package RMAN.DBMS_RCVCAT version 10.02.00.03 in RCVCAT database is not current
PL/SQL package RMAN.DBMS_RCVMAN version 10.02.00.03 in RCVCAT database is not current

From metalink i understood that
RMAN catalog schema version should be atleast equal to or greater than its target database. So yes upgrade to 10.2.0.4 According to this metalink note: RMAN Compatibility Matrix Doc ID: Note:73431.1 ,
My question is what are the steps I need to follow for upgrading catalog database. Also i have installed 10.2.0.4 oracle software on rman catalog database server.Kindly advice on this

Thanks and Regards,
Dhan
