Ciao!

Looking at the Oracle docs, I interpret them to state it is fine to use an 8.0.6 rman and catalog to manage an 8.1.5 database. The 8.0.6 database is on a Solaris 2.6 machine while the database I'm attempting to manage is on an NTsp6 machine. Connections between the two machines and with Oracle and the databases have long been established. I am only experiencing difficulties using the rman facility.

After creating the rman user and the catalog in my 8.0.6 database, I connect to the catalog and the target like this:

% rman rcvcat "rman/rman_at_solaris_server" target "sys/sys_at_NT_server"

I receive the following output:

Recovery Manager: Release 8.0.6.0.0 - Production

RMAN-06005: connected to target database: NT_server RMAN-06008: connected to recovery catalog database

Looks like I'm connected. I issue the command "register database;" and all hell breaks loose:

RMAN-03022: compiling command: register
RMAN-03023: executing command: register
RMAN-08006: database registered in recovery catalog
RMAN-03023: executing command: full resync

RMAN-10031: ORA-4062 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.CFILEMAKEANDUSESNAPSHOT Resync alone causes similiar errors, as does 'list incarnations', etc. Is this in fact some sort of compatibility issue? I have repeatedly 'dropped cascade' the rman user and recreated the repository, but this condition persists.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Peace.
