Hi,
Here is the procedure for creating RMAN catalog:
Installing RMAN Catalog:
Install the recovery catalog schema in a different database (say RCAT) from the target database you will be backing up.
Assume the following for the examples below:
User SYS with password CHANGE_ON_INSTALL has SYSDBA privileges on the recovery catalog database RCAT.
There is a tablespace called CATTBS on the recovery catalog database RCAT that stores the recovery catalog.
There is a tablespace called TEMP in the recovery catalog database.
To set up the recovery catalog schema:
Start SQL*Plus and then connect with administrator privileges to the database containing the recovery catalog (RCAT). For example, enter:
SQL> CONNECT sys/change_on_install@rcat
Create a log file that you can use to check for errors. For example, enter:
SQL> SPOOL create_rman.log
Create a user and schema for the recovery catalog. For example, enter:
SQL> CREATE USER rman IDENTIFIED BY rman
2> TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
3> DEFAULT TABLESPACE cattbs
4> QUOTA UNLIMITED ON cattbs;
Grant the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role to the schema owner. This role provides the user with privileges to maintain and query the recovery catalog.
SQL> GRANT recovery_catalog_owner TO rman;
Grant other desired privileges to the RMAN user.
SQL> GRANT connect, resource TO rman;
Host out to the operating system to check the create_rman.log file for any errors before continuing. For example, a UNIX user can issue:
SQL> host
% vi create_rman.log
To create the recovery catalog:
Connect to the database that will contain the catalog as the catalog owner. For example, from the operating system command line enter:
% rman catalog rman/rman@rcat
You can also connect from the RMAN prompt:
% rman
RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman@rcat
Issue the create catalog command to create the catalog, specifying the CATTBS tablespace:
RMAN> create catalog tablespace cattbs;
Note that the creation of the catalog can take several minutes.
Host out to the operating system to check the create_rman.log file for any errors before continuing. For example, a UNIX user can issue:
RMAN> host;
% vi create_rman.log
Optionally, query the recovery catalog to see which tables were created:
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM user_tables;
Note: Database name, SYS password, tablespace names are for examples only. You can name change them.
You all set!!!! Good luck.
