RE: RMAN after Upgrade to 8.1.7.4

I was told by a RMAN guru that there was issues and ran into a couple myself..

The rule of thumb I was given was - always have your catalog higher than your
highest registered database version and always use the Rman version of the target
database to do backup/restores. I believe you will run into issues not following that.

In the Rman documentation there is a good compatability matrix but the above rules of
thumb make it much more simpler.

I had an issue with these 2 versions ..and had to upgrade my catalog...which then
fixed the problem.

Hope that helps,
Brian Spears

Firstly the ownership of RMAN is not with me but with another DBA, but I am concerned.
We have updated our Prod databases to 8.1.7.4 from 8.1.6. The RMAN Database is currently 8.1.6
When I connect to RMAN I see 'Recovery Manager: Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production'.
I am trying to restore a database (8.1.6 i.e. pre upgrade) to an alternate host and I am getting ORA-600 errors when I resetlogs and Im also worried that the PRODUCTION 8.1.7 is not getting backed up by RMAN correctly. I do recall that apparently 8.1.6 rman database cannot back up 8.1.7 - is that correct. The DBA for RMAN assures us that it can.
Can anyone give me a heads up on this.
Thanks
Sam
