    Question UNregister database through RMAN

    OS: Solaris 2.8
    RMAN Catalog: 9.2.0.2
    RMAN Target: 8.1.7.4 and 8.1.6.1

    I have two seperate recovery catalogs; one owned by rman816 and one owned by rman817 in the same instance. I have a database that I cloned via copying files from the OS to result in PROD and TEST. I registered the PROD database in the rman816 catalog and the TEST database in the rman817 catalog after I upgraded it to 8.1.7. Now, I have upgraded my PROD database to 8.1.7 and I want to register it with the rman817 catalog, but the DBID already exists because of the TEST database.

    I can't drop my catalog because other databases exist in the rman817 catalog.

    How do I "unregister" my TEST database so I can register my PROD database?

    Hi,

    Logon to your rman respository (sqlplus rman/rman@ract)
    query the rc_database view:
    select db_key, dbid from rc_database;

    DB_KEY DBID
    ---------- ----------
    1 3369942583

    with the selected values issue:

    exec dbms_rcvcat.unregisterdatabase(1,3369942583);

    Cheers,
    R.
