You could run it in debug mode and see where the trace leads you. How big is the catalog size - as Jared said there could be a FTS I have seen that RMAN is good at what it does but there are quite a few gotcha's with the catalog. ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Charles Schultz Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 4:00 PM To: Jared Still Cc: ORACLE-L Subject: Re: RMAN catalog operations taking 128 seconds per file - where is the bottleneck (and no guessing) Thanks, Jared, looks like it could quite possibly be unpublished bug 7444008 <https://supporthtml.oracle.com/ep/faces/secure/km/BugSearch.jspx?bugId= 7444008> . I hate bugs. Still, I am curious, what exactly is the root problem?

There are a number of notes on MOS regarding RMAN performance, you may want to check there. IIRC there are some indexing issues, though I can't recall any version #'s.
