You can upgrade the 816 catalog to be 817 compliant with the command RMAN > upgrade catalog You need to be connected to an 8.1.7 target first to do this. It effectively recreates two packages DBMS_RCVMAN and DBMS_RCVCAT
John -----Original Message----- Sent: 20 November 2002 16:39 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Rachna - Yes, RMAN is VERY picky about Oracle versions. What I understand is that you are trying to use an 816 catalog to back up an 817 database. I think that you usually must keep your catalog at the level of the target database or higher. In other words, you could use an 817 catalog db to back up an 816 target, but not the other way around. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP Lifetouch, Inc.
