Years ago, we backed up an 8.1.5 production database (along with it's "dev" environment) with the RMAN catalog housed on an NT workstation running 7.3.4. Worked just fine. We eventually upgraded the NT box to 8.1.5 also, but that was just an export/import and we were off and running again...
The RMAN recovery catalog is just another "database application" to the database housing it. There really aren't any version-specific demands placed by RMAN upon that database (of which I'm aware), save that it is accessible by SQL*Net. I'm not recommending 7.3.4 for the repository, though... :-) ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 5:28 AM Hi List, I am planning to start taking backups through RMAN.Database is around 60GB(Solaris Oracle 8.1.5) and therfore i am planning to using Catalog.Since There is no space on our solaris box i am planning to create catalog db on WIN2K machine(Orcale 8.1.6) . will there be compatiblity issues considering my target database is Oracle 8.1.5 on Solaris 8 and my catalog database is oracle 8.1.6 on WIN2K Thanking all in advance Regards Pawan Dalmia -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Pawan Dalmia INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
