This is a small migration demo of a 11g catalog (RCAT11G) to a new 12c catalog (RCAT12c).

Demo databases environments have been easily managed thanks to DBI DMK tool.

Migrating RCAT11g to RCAT12c

Importing RCAT11g catalog data into RCAT12c.

oracle@vmtestoradg1:/home/oracle/ [RCAT12C] rman catalog rcat/manager

RMAN> import catalog rcat/manager@RCAT11G;

Starting import catalog at 05-JAN-2018 13:39:56

PL/SQL package RCAT.DBMS_RCVCAT version 11.02.00.04 in IMPCAT database is too old

RMAN-03002: failure of import catalog command at 01/05/2018 13:39:56
RMAN-06429: IMPCAT database is not compatible with this version of RMAN

When using IMPORT CATALOG, the version of the source recovery catalog schema must be equal to the current version of the destination recovery catalog schema. We, therefore, first need to upgrade RCAT11g catalog schema.
