Big Difference between Catalog and Nocatalog

Hi,
i´m always facing the discussion, what is the big difference between using a catalog and nocatalog
i start with the points i know. could somebody please add some points? Thanks
(+) Catalog
1. All Controlfiles could be lost (but if you have controlfile autobackup it should not be a great problem without the catalog)
2. keep forever backup (controlfiles yould only save information up to 365 days)
3. many database backups could be administrated inside the catalog (but what if yoiu want to know: which of my 100 databases are not backed up yesterday?)
4. ....?
(-) i had some crash scenarios that worked only without catalog
(-) backup of the catalog
(-) another database on another server
Thanks
Marco

Hi,
Using catalog you have the advantage to keep global RMAN script. Those scripts can be run against any of the databases registered in the catalog.
You can use following command to see the script if already written and stored in catalog:
RMAN > print script "local_script_name.rcv" ; [specific to your database and would run against your database]
RMAN > print global script "script_name.rcv"; [global script which can run on all the database registered with catalog]
Thanks
Sumit.

  • Difference between catalog and nocatalog option

    Hi all,
    What is the difference between catalog and nocatalog option in the Rman.
    And when we have to use these options
    Thanks
    Awanish

    catalog means that you have a recovery catalog database, nocatalog means that you are using the controlfile as rman repository. Of course catalog option can only be used when recovery catalog is present (which is not mandatory).
    From functional point of view no difference.

  • Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in USA? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards? Thanks

    Hi, I'm from the UK and in the USA for a week. I'm thinking of purchasing an Air. Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in the US? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards?
    Cheers

    There are subtle differences on a British layout, mainly having to do with the top line (shift numbers), to permit the use of European monetary symbols. There are a few other keys different (note the enter key).
    Here are the basic layouts. Obviously the MBA won't have an eject key, as the power key resides in that location.

  • Big difference between Retina and non-Retina MacBooks on ACD?

    I'm deciding between a 13" MacBook pro/retina and a 13" MacBook Air. It'll mostly be used with my 24-inch, Late 2008 (1920 x 1200) Apple Cinema display. Will I see a big difference in text clarity with the Retina Pro instead of an Air plugged into it? Thanks for any advice.

    Thank you very much for the reply Geoff93......but I'm still baffled.
    If what you say is so......Is BT not my ISP ?? ......(and therefore "bypassing their own congestion" to achieve better figures) ?     How come other users show speedtest.net download figures of 30+ Mbs when I struggle to get more than 10 ?  and still doesn't explain why my download speed is nearly always less than upload speed ?
    The Openreach engineer said that according to his meter on installation I had a possible 37+ Mb down and almost 10 up....but in practice he was only getting Speedtest.net readings of around 4.5 Mbs to 11 Mbs using both wireless and/or ethernet cable and using three different computers  (with three different versions of Windows) to cross check. 
    I had hoped (and expected from the option 2 + Anytime calls Infinity monthly agreement taken on !) that the speed of operation would have been quite noticeably faster than the old 1 Mb down / .5 Mb upload copper cable connection but it has not .....and is less reliable having dropped connection regularly last week. 

  • Big differences between PAYG and PM charges to call abroad using add-on?

    For PAYG customers, it seems that the charges to call EU numbers are much lower than for Pay Monthly custiomers. For example, the per minute charge to call a landline in France is 2p or a mobile is 5p on PAYG. On PM it's 5p (landline)  or 15p (mobile). Likewise texts are 10p vs 18p I would have thought that if there were any differences, PM would be cheaper. Or have I missed something? See PLAN PRICE GUIDES - non-standard charges for PAYG and PM

    Hi 
    The charges vary depending on whether you are on EE, T-Mobile or Orange.
    It also depends on your plan, tariff or pack.

  • Is there a big difference between 5400 and 7200 hard drives?

    I dont know which one to get. Should i upgrade to the 7200. Right now i have a 7200 hard drive in my powermac g5 and its great so would it be alot slower with a 5400 hard drive. Also to upgrade the drive do i have to order it online or can they upgrade it in the apple store?

    Barefeats did some tests, and they conclude the Momentus 7200 is worth the upgrade. Also note this drive is slower than some other newer drives, so you could even get a greater advantage from other models. I've bolded pertinent information. Please note most performance increases are not seen in everyday emailing, web surfing, etc.
    http://www.barefeats.com/hard56.html
    Their Conclusion:
    ANALYSIS
    The Seagate Momentus 7200.1 takes notebook drive speed to a whole new level. It's not as fast as the fastest 2.5" (ed) 7200rpm drives but it's impressive nevertheless. And its quiet. It's a no brainer for a PowerBook internal drive replacement or as an external drive in a FireWire 800 enclosure.
    WILL A 7200RPM NOTEBOOK DRIVE DRAIN MY BATTERY FASTER?
    The short answer is, "Probably not." You see, the 7200rpm drives are as much as 28% faster doing random reads and writes compared to the 5400rpm drives. They are as much as 80% faster than 4200rpm drives. Yet the Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 uses the same amount of power as the Travelstar 5K100. The Seagate Momentus 7200.1 uses only 10% more power than the Momentus 4200.2. The Momentus 5400.3 uses less power than the Momentus 4200.2. My theory is that the "speed to power" ratio is so good with the 7200rpm drives that the net effect on the battery is negligible.

  • Big difference between iMac and MacMini for a basic FCP usage?

    Hi all,
    the question is the one on the subject.
    The comparison is between the:
    - iMac 3.06Ghz 8GB 512vRam (the one on my signature here below)
    - MacMini 2.4Ghz 8GB 256vRam
    I would like to know if i will notice significant differencies in a basic usage of FCP: i mean a usage of FCP more like if it was FCExpress...

    Thanks Tom, this is due to hardware limitations i suppose ?
    There is some link/resource where i can read wich applications are compromised?
    thanks again

  • Difference between SIP200 and SIP400

    Hello. 
    Is there anyone who can explain what exactly BIG difference between SIP200 and SIP400 ?
    They have same four bays, support almost same wan interface cards. 
    Please help me : )

    Hi,
    The difference is mainly speed:
    The Cisco 7600 series router is an edge aggregation router, and the SIPs provide a cost-effective solution for customers seeking moderate- to high-port density and line rate services:
    •The Cisco 7600 SIP-200 provides WAN edge aggregation through lower-speed and low-density SPAs for network environments requiring regional office connectivity to headquarters, or collapsed LAN/WAN deployment.
    •The Cisco 7600 SIP-400 provides higher-speed, high-density link aggregation for network environments requiring leased line and metro aggregation.
    •The Cisco 7600 SIP-600 provides a high-speed interface for WANs and metro aggregation.

  • Difference between ACS and ISE

    What is the big difference between the ACS and the ISE? We just purchased an ACS server to start locking down ports on our switches and use the Radius functions to better secure our wireless environment. It has been ordered but not yet arrived. I had a discussion with management today about preventing the IPads / IPhones / Smartphones / etc. of the world from accessing the network. If the user knows the credentials for getting their laptop onto the network then they can use these same credentials to get their IPad on the network. How do we detect and prevent is the current question.
    In discussing with others the ISE comes up. The questions now become what is the big difference between this and the ACS. Do they work together or independently since they both seem to have "radius on steroids". Can I configure the ACS to do the same functions? I figure this will have to be something on a MAC address level anyway. Oh and one other thing. My wireless infrastructure is not Cisco.
    Off to continue the research path ....
    Brent

    To put it simply I usually say ACS = RADIUS, ISE = NAC.
    ISE will do RADIUS functions as well as NAC functions. Eventually you'll probably see ACS go away and be simply replaced by ISE.
    ISE will do posturizing and profiling of a device to see if it truly meets requirements to be on a certain VLAN. For your example if you were to my credentials on my own smart device I would have access. ISE could profile this device to see if it truly is a corporate owned device or not. If it wasn't ISE can switch the network that the device connects to, say a guest network.
    ISE can also do captive web portals for wired/wireless guest access.
    I wouldn't rely on any type of MAC address authentication as I can easily spoof that.

  • Hey guys, I was wondering ... is there a big difference between the 16 gig ram and the 8 gig for the retina series?? hardest thing I do on a laptop is play need for speed on 1080p resolution.... thanks

    hey guys I was wondering ... will there be a big difference between the 8 gig and 16 gig versions of the pro retina series??? the hardest thing i do is play need for speed and program using c++...thanks

    That RAM is soldered in. No sockets. No upgrading later.
    Your question is:
    ¿Will I EVER need the 16GB in the time I expect to own this MacBook?
    --NO, save $200 and if you ever run short, sell the machine and buy a different one.
    --ELSE, spend the extra US$200 and don't think about it again.

    Software support of graphics card is key.   If no graphics card is mentioned in software specs, then it can be ignored.  Mostly games and high end image and video graphics software are affected.
