You always have 2 connections open in RMAN (when you are running in catalog mode)
- a connection to the catalog database (in your command identified by rcvcat rman/rman_at_rcat)
- a connection to the database to be backed up (in your command target / , which means you are running on the server running the target database and you have set your $ORACLE_SID appropiately Obviously you first need to issue a register database; command before you can do anything.
