Thank you for the responses. The MOS article is one piece I was missing in

Hi Sandra,
1. Can I upgrade the RCVCAT schema in the 11g database so it willsupport my 12c database?
Yes. The RMAN compatibility matrix is explained in MOS note #73431.1. The
catalog database has to be 10.2.0.3 or newer.
2. If yes, will that affect the backups for the 9i, 10g, 11g databases?Yes, probably bugs etc.. However you should have 2 catalog
databases/schemas - one for test and one for production and so you can test
it.
2. If yes, is there any impact/gotchas having a 12c catalog in an 11gdatabase?
Yes, please check this blog post:
