Steps to upgrade RMAN catalog schema from 10.2.0.4 to 11.1.0.7

I am looking for steps to upgrade our catalog database schema from 10.2.0.4 to 11.1.0.7. We want to register our prod 11g target database into our EM Repository 10.2 catalog database.
Can you please refer to doc / metalink note to upgrade 10.2 database catalog schema to 11g schema?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tycho ,
Thanks for your help and suggestions . What i did is i migrated the rman catalog from 11gR1 (11.1.0.6.0) to 10gR2 (10.2.0.4) then connected rman catalog from 11gR2 Client which is the highest version available and then did the following.
RMAN> upgrade catalog;
recovery catalog upgraded to version 11.02.00.01
DBMS_RCVMAN package upgraded to version 11.02.00.01
DBMS_RCVCAT package upgraded to version 11.02.00.01
RMAN>
Now i am able to connect directly and take backup's from 11gR2 , 11gR1 and 10gR2 clients respectively. I also tested the backup's from grid control which are working fine.
Currently my rman catalog database is 10.2.0.4 and my rman catalog schema is 11.02.00.01.
Thanks for everyone's help.

How to get RMAN catalog information from Target database?

Hi,
How to get RMAN catalog information from Target database because i don't know about catalog database? is it possible?
Thanks

If you run RMAN backups of a target database using a Catalog schema in another database, the target is not aware of the catalog.
The RMAN backup script would have the connection identifier for the Catalog.

Steps to upgrade my Oracle version from 11.1.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 in windows.

Can anyone help me with the steps to upgrade my Oracle version from 11.1.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 in windows.
Thanks in advance.

If you are going to upgrade, you should upgrade to the latest 11gR2 patchset (currently 11.2.0.4). At a high level -
1. Install 11.2.0.4 into a new separate ORACLE_HOME - see MOS Doc 1562139.1 and Contents
2. Apply the latest 11.2.0.4 PSU bundle available for Windows - see MOS Doc 1454618.1
3. Use DBUA to perform the upgrade - MOS Doc 870814.1 and Contents
Also see
MOS Doc 1645862.1

How to upgrade RMAN catalog from 10.2.0.4 to 11?

Hi, we are on Oracle 10.2.0.4, Solaris 5.10. Our RMAN catalog is 10.2.0.4 version and we have several 11g databases that need to connect to the catalog and obviously cannot. So we need to upgrade the catalog to 11. Does anyone have any docs on how to do it. Do I need to upgrade RMAN database to 11 via conventional upgrade and then do UPGRADE CATALOG? Really confusing, any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you!

You need to:
1 - upgrade the recovery catalog database
2 - upgrade the recovery catalog Schema
Please check the details on note *452529.1 Recovery catalog for RMAN backup*.
Normally newer databases (target) can be cataloged on previous version catalog database, but with 11g there is the bug 6756872 (RMAN REGISTER OF 11G TARGET INTO 10G CATALOG FAILS WITH ORA-04028) which force you to upgrade the catalog.
You can also review RMAN Compatibility Matrix (Note 73431.1) which has all valid version combinations.
If your scenario is simple enough, another option could be create a new 11g RMAN catalog and register there your databases, without importing data from the 10.2 catalog.
Regards.

RMAN Catalog Upgrade Understanding.

Hi,
We just upgraded our target database from oracle version 9.2.0.7 to 9.2.0.8 and our catalog database is still in 9.2.0.7 . Do we need to upgrade the recovery catalog schema in the catalog database If so then how to do that.
I tried running upgrade catalog command on the recovery schema of the catalog database and it is upgrading to the 9.2.00 version packages.

DBMS_RCVCAT package upgraded to version 09.02.00
Right now I am skeptical is it the correct way of upgrading the catalog schema in the catalog database.
Any suggestions/advice will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Raheem

The schema version (or the objects therein) is different from the version of the database in which the rc schema resides. As long as oracle wouldn't force you to upgrade the database, upgrading the schema is enough. The same applies to the the repository database for grid control. The version of the grid repository schema can be different from the version of the database software.
Whatever you did is correct.

Could anyone please provide the steps to upgrade Oracle Database EE from 11.2.0.3.8 to 11.2.0.4.0.

You will need to install 11.2.0.4 into a new ORACLE_HOME, apply the latest 11.2.0.4 PSU patch to the new ORACLE_HOME (see MOS Doc 1454618.1) and then follow the steps in the Upgrade Guide

Then, by definition, you did not successfully upgrade anything.
Open an SR at MyOracleSupport and ask them to advise you as to how to safely fix the mess.
If you follow a blog post and something goes terribly wrong who is going to lose their job? You or the blogger?oh no no, not going to follow blindly. JUst copy the command out and paste here so that i can show the command.
I am clearifying whether is there any thing i need pre- task. NOt too sure i need to shutdown completely, backup the rman catalog schema, etc.

PSU level of RMAN Catalog DB version and Target DBs

Catalog DB Version: 11.2.0.2.3
Target DBs : 11.2.0.2.3
Currently our Catalog DB and Target DBs ( 15 of them) are of the same PSU level.
We are going to apply PSU 5 (11.2.0.2.3) on some of the target DBs . Should we apply PSU 5 (11.2.0.2.3) on the Catalog DB first before we apply this PSU on the target DBs?

Hi TeslaMan,
Probably you mean the rdbms version of the catalog is version 11.2.0.2.3.
If you upgrade target databases with a cpu you might need to upgrade the catalog schema to an equal or higher level.
Please check the current catalog schema version with the following sql.
select * from RCVER;Maybe you can create a dummy catalog schema with the patched up rdbms rman cli (maybe you tested the cpu already?) and check the new version with the same sql.
Regards,
Tycho

One 8i instance and two rman catalogs 8i and 8

Can I have a single 8i instance for RMAN only with two catalogs, one for 8i and one for 8.0?

Robert,
Yes you can use a single database for 2 recovery catalogs. You can create 2 different schemas for each RMAN catalog version and each of those schemas can hold a different version of the RMAN catalog.
The only reason I can think that you would need 2 different catalogs is because you have an 8.1.X target and a 8.0.5 target? If so, make sure to have the RMAN catalog be the latest 8.1.x release.
In general, the rules of RMAN compatibility are as follows:
o The RMAN catalog schema version should be greater than or equal to the catalog database version. See "Note 1: 8.1 or Later Catalog Schemas in 8.0 Catalog Databases".
o The RMAN catalog is backwards compatible with target databases from earlier releases. See "Note 2: 8.1 or Later Catalog Schemas and 8.0 Target Databases".
o The versions of the RMAN executable and the target database should be the same.
Note 1: 8.1 or Later Catalog Schemas in 8.0 Catalog Databases
RMAN cannot create release 8.1 or later catalog schemas in 8.0 catalog databases.
Note 2: 8.1 or Later Catalog Schemas and 8.0 Target Databases
Restore operations for an 8.0.4 or 8.0.5 target with an 8.1 or later catalog schema do not work when both these conditions are met:
The target database is mounted or open
You are connected to a recovery catalog
If any of these conditions is not met, then you can use an 8.1 or later catalog schema with an 8.0.4 or 8.0.5 target database.
Note 3: 8.1.6 Catalog Schema and Pre-8.1.6 RMAN Executable
Using a pre-8.1.6 release of the RMAN executable with recovery catalog schema of release 8.1.6.0 or 8.1.6.1 (newly created by 8.1.6 RMAN executable using the CREATE
CATALOG command) requires the following update at the catalog database:
SQL> UPDATE CONFIG SET VALUE='080004' WHERE NAME='COMPATIBLE';
null

Creating RMAN catalog. Are these steps correct?

Are these steps to set up the RMAN catalog correct?
I.
The following two databases are the target databases which needs to be backed up.
1. a 11.1.0.7.0 database
2. a 10.2.0.1.0 databaseII.
Catalog schema in a 10.2.0.4.0 database called catdb.
III.
I am going to use the RMAN client(10.2.0.1.0) in my laptop (Windows Server 2003).
CATALOG schema creation
=======================
To create the Catalog Database (10.2.0.4.0), this what i am going to do in catdb
 a. create tablespace CAT_TBS
 b. CREATE USER rman_cat_schema
 IDENTIFIED BY rman_cat_schema
 DEFAULT TABLESPACE cat_tbs
 TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
 QUOTA UNLIMITED ON cat_tbs;
 c. GRANT create session TO rman_cat_schema;
 d. GRANT recovery_catalog_owner TO rman_cat_schema;
 e. GRANT execute ON dbms_stats TO rman_cat_schema;
 f. Invoke the RMAN binary from my laptop :
 C:\>set ORACLE_SID=catdb
 C:\>rman catalog rman_cat_schema/rman_cat_schema@catdb log=catalog.log
 Hopefully Catalog will get the created at catdb .
Registering the database
=========================
To register the database,this is what i am going to do.
 a. Add the Tns Entry about the catdb in tnsnames.ora file of the target database
 b. Log in to target database's machine and invoke the RMAN executable in the target database. 
 $ export ORACLE_SID=oraprod314
 $ rman TARGET / CATALOG rman_cat_schema/rman_cat_schema@catdb
 c. Then i can give the REGISTER DATABASE command. like
 $rman > register database;

Yes, You can connect to RMAN catalog using a lower version client. see this.
SQL> conn rman/rman@mycatdb
Connected.
SQL> select * from rcver;
VERSION
11.01.00.06
SQL>
rman
Recovery Manager: Release 9.2.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
Copyright (c) 1995, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
RMAN> connect target /
connected to target database: STSTDB (DBID=2045697105)
RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman@abcd.
connected to recovery catalog database
RMAN>
You can take the backups and do recoveries. But, if you want to achieve certain features of the recovery catalog of higher versions to backup / recover your database, you better use the right RMAN client which allows the features to use.
It is always advisable to use the RMAN Client same as the database version you want to backup to avoid any confusions.
Hope it is helpul.

Upgrading rman 9i catalog to 10g catalog.

Hi,
I need to know the typical steps to upgrade the rman catalog from 9i to oracle oracle 10g. We have already 9i db's registered with 9i catalog and 10g db's are there which we will register with the upgraded 10g catalog.
Kindly provide links and also summarise here the typical steps involved.
Thanks in advance for all the help !!

Depends. If you want to do an in-place upgrade, then upgrade the database to at least the highest 10g database that will be connecting. For example, if the highest 10g version you have is 10.2.0.1, then go to at least 10.2.0.1. I have been running 10.2.0.3 without any issues.
After upgrading the database, login to the rman catalog using the same ORACLE_HOME as the database, and run:
upgrade catalog;
That's it. No bells, no whistles. The docs are very clear on this and it's not a huge ordeal.
Or, you can export/import to a new database, and run 'upgrade catalog' on it.
