RE: RMAN, recatalog backup set

[Stephen Lee]

When you are not using a catalog database, the control file is your only catalog.  If you destroy all copies of it, then you have destroyed your catalog.  It's gone.  It is a late catalog.  It is no more.  (I wish I could remember the Monty Python dead parrot bit.)  That's why you must backup the control file at the end of the rman backup -- a REAL backup of the file itself, not a "to trace" backup. -----Original Message----- From: Vladimir Barac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 4:49 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RMAN, recatalog backup set Hi!   RMAN 8.1.7, nocatalog option   I have two backup sets, placed on disk. Those backup sets contain archived logs.   How do I register those sets (and arch. logs they contain) in new controlfile?   "New controlfile" is created by "alter database backup controlfile to trace" script. So, RMAN info is nonexistant.   Thanks, Vladimir Barac
