You might need to find out whether the vendor has created the catalog for
you.
If not, either you can create the catalog (make sure the catalog is located
in a separate db and not within the same machine as your production db) or
you can use RMAN to do the backup without the catalog.
If no catalog is used, you can carry out the RMAN work in your production
server using an account with SYSDBA privilege
such as
rman target / nocatalog
