Hi, My rman resource is on holiday.... I have activated a standby database, which now takes over from the original. I want to back it up in rman, but when I try I get:- "RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20003: target data base incarnation not found in recovery catalog" So I need to register the activated standby database. Do I need to unregister the old one first? What steps should I take? Yours in ignorance.
