Rachna,

you forgot one more test:

816 version of Rman against an 817 target database using an 816 version of catalog - should work ok.

other than that, your test results are as expected. you can use a lower version of rman against a higher version of the catalog, but the opposite is not true.

DBAs,

I experienced following while trying to test interoperatibility between 816 and 817.

Any comments, experiences?

Target -> 817 Catalog -> 816

---

rman rcvcat rman/rman_at_rcatqual
connect target

register database;

.

RMAN-06429: RCVCAT database is not compatible with this version of RMAN
.

---

---

Target -> 816 Catalog -> 817

---

rman rcvcat rman/rman_at_rcattest
connect target

register database;

.

RMAN-08006: database registered in recovery catalog
.
