I know there is a compatibility table but its not making sense now : I have 8.1.7.0.0 databases
1 is the target, the other hosts the rman catalog (called CATALOG) The rman exe is 8.1.7.0.1

the catalog compatibility found by querying CONFIG says 080004

Yet, when I try to connect to target I get the following:

------------------>

RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman

RMAN-06008: connected to recovery catalog database : ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service

RMAN> connect target sys/change_on_install_at_ditmig.world
