I set up a 10.2.0.3 primary and physical standby database pair and configured 
each to use RMAN "incremental backups" with the Flash Recovery Area (FRA).  I 
then registered each database to separate RMAN recovery catalogs, performed a 
full "incremental save" of the primary to the FRA followed by a BACKUP RECOVERY 
AREA taking the FRA contents to tape. I was then able to connect to the RC of 
the standby from the standby and view the save of the primary via RMAN "list" 
commands. How is this possible with separate RCs and controlfiles?  This 
configuration mirrors Oracle's "Geographically Too Distant" scenario from the 
DG Admin Guide (chapter 10), which I may face.  Note that I did use the backup 
with a TAG identifying the database TNS alias the save originated from. Can 
anyone shed some light on this.  
   
  Thanks!!
