Re: Moving an RMAN backup

Don't give me the "RTFM". I already did and you're wrong: You cannot use catalog to perform the following operations:

  a.. Catalog archived redo logs and control file copies that were created in Oracle7 unless the file belongs to a tablespace that was offline normal or read-only when you migrated the database to Oracle version 8.0 or later.

  b.. Re-catalog backup pieces or backup sets. The "alter catalog..." was a pseudo code example, duh.
