    I think the errors tell you that you cannot

    Per the compatibility matrix on metalink (Note : 73431.1) You should be able to use a 9i catalog database to backup a 10g database. I have not done this personally, but would imagine that you need to create a NEW / separate recovery catalog schema for the 10g target on the catalog database. Then, you should be set (or so I would hope).

    ----------

    What's the version of your catalog database? Per the compatibility matrix, as long as you are using a 9.0.1.3+ schema (a schema that backs up 9.0.1.3+ databases) on your 9.0.1+ database, you should NOT need to create a separate schema.

    Sounds pretty interesting. Open a TAR if you can't get it to work. I'd be interested in hearing what Oracle has to say about this as well. Would be great if you could post afterwards.

    That's the way I would do it. I would then issue a "create catalog" from my 10g rman executable.

    Yes, that's true. But it is a basic rule that the catalog DB should have the highest version of Oracle.

    My database version for recovery catalog is 9.2.0.5.As per the Rman compatibility matrix it said its supported.My question is how should i use 10g Rman executable on 9205 database.Do i need to install or copy 10g rman executable on 9205 database.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks To All,

    I tried to register my 10g database with 9i catalog.Thats true you cannot register your database with 920x recovery catalog.You need to create a new catalog with 10g rman executable.I did it.It worked fine for me.So its possible to have 9i recovery catalog and 10g as target database.
