RE: recovery catalog

I have noticed some connection slowness at times if there are oodles (technical term) of backups still in the catalog. Have you ever run the crosscheck command? If so, have you deleted expired backups? I understand that some people don't ever want to delete backups from the catalog but a little planning can go a long way in keeping the catalog a little more manageable.

Subject: recovery catalog

What would cause a rman recovery catalog login to take a long time? On the order of minutes to complete.  

I am just looking for some ideas to check out.  

This is between the target database over to a server with the rman catalog.  

There are no network issues between these two servers.  

thanks.
