Hi
I've configured RCAT database including the previously installed production database. I cant create catalog and tried some other commands that dose not functioning well. The following steps has been done so far:
1. created rcat database
2. created rcvcat tablespace
3. create user rman user
4. grant the permissions to rman user
5. connecting rman for
creating rman catalog results in the following:

RMAN> create catalog tablespace rcvcat

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00558: error encountered while parsing input commands
RMAN-01005: syntax error: found "rcvcat": expecting one of: "double-quoted-string, identifier, single-quoted-string"
RMAN-01007: at line 1 column 27 file: standard input


RMAN> create catalog tablespace rcvcat
--------------------------------------

6.Testing another commands like:

RMAN> run {host "ls -l";}

RMAN-03022: compiling command: host
RMAN-06428: recovery catalog is not installed
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: host
RMAN-06429: RCVCAT database is not compatible with this version of RMAN

-------------------------------
7. Testing another commands like:

RMAN> run { sql "select * from v$datafile"; }

RMAN-03022: compiling command: sql
RMAN-06428: recovery catalog is not installed
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: sql
RMAN-06429: RCVCAT database is not compatible with this version of RMAN

Do you have any idea what is wrong.
