DBAs, It seems that RMAN user has lost the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role when I upgraded the catalog database from 816 to 817.
I could not even connect to the database as rman user. It even lacked CREATE SESSION. I tried giving "grant create session to rman;" and I could connect. Later on, upon running "upgrade catalog" I got hundreds of error messages (mostly looked like permissions issue). After "grant RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER to rman;" "upgrade catalog" seemed to work fine. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
