RMAN register database problem ...

Dear list members,

I have created a catalog database name : rcat, Connect string: fis_test_rcat. The test database Name : rtest, Connect String: fis_test_rtest. Both are Oracle 8.1.5 databases(64 bit) residing on the same box(HP-UX 11.0).

I have created user rman/rman in "rcat" database with default tablespace rcvcat_ts and granted recovery_catalog_owner to rman, also granted connect, resource to rman.

I have created recovery catalog as follows:
$ rman (rman log=create_rman.log is not working, it simply hangs)
RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman_at_fis_test_rcat RMAN> create catalog tablespace rcvcat_ts;

Now, I need to register "rtest" database in "rcat". When I issue the command suggested in the manual:
$ rman target / catalog rman/rman_at_fis_test_rcat , I get the following messages.
RMAN-06005 Connected to target database: RCAT(DBID: 166860994) RMAN-06008 Connected to recovery catalog database. RMAN> My target database is RTEST and not RCAT. The above stmt at RMAN-06005 says my target database is RCAT. I tried many ways to connect both target database and catalog database inorder to register the target database "RTEST" in catalog database "RCAT". But none of the stmts are connecting to the target database.

How can I register the target database "RTEST" in catalog database "RCAT"? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
