Hi all,

I have configuration of one primary and one physical standby. the backups
are done on standby and recovery catalog is in use.
if I connect using rman on primary and catalog, primary is 'aware' of all
backups done on standby. If I connect (rman) with no catalog, primary do not
'see' backups done on standby.
I have tried to find a way (except cataloging backups on primary) to
'refresh' records in primary controlfile from catalog.
In documentation "Backup and Recovery Reference 10R2' is mentioned command:
RESYNC CONTROLFILE
which says:
<>
The primary use for RESYNC CONTROLFILE occurs when you re-create the control
file
(for example, to change the database name), which causes you to lose RMAN
records.
You can then resynchronize the newly created control file with an old copy.
<>

which is not appropriate in this case.

Does anybody know some method of 'refreshing' the backup info in controlfile
from recovery catalog?

Thanks.
Goran
