RMAN RESTORE

Hi,

I am trying to restore a database to test an instance crash. I have recreated the instance and connected to the target database and rman. When I try the command :

list backup of database;

I get the following :

C:\>RMAN TARGET SYS/MANAGER@GTS-CLUSTER2 RCVCAT=RMAN/RMAN@RMAN

Recovery Manager: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production

RMAN-06005: connected to target database: PICIS_DB (DBID=1706918627)
RMAN-06008: connected to recovery catalog database

RMAN> list backup of database;

RMAN-03022: compiling command: list
RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: list
RMAN-03014: implicit resync of recovery catalog failed
RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20001: target database not found in recovery catalog

Whats going wrong? Anyone.

Thanks

I syour connect string in your TNS name? Is it the correct connect string...

did u register the database?

I registered it the first time, but after recreating it a second time I have not registered it, do I need to re-register it?

thanks.
