PL/SQL package RMAN.DBMS_RCVCAT version 11.02.00.04 in RCVCAT database is too old

Hoje estarei abordando um erro relativamente comum, que ocorre quando tentamos registrar no catalogo rman uma base que está em uma versão superior a versão do catalogo.

Ao tentar registrar um novo ambiente criado na versão 12.1.0.2.0 em um catalogo rman existente na versão 11.02.00.04, é constatada a ocorrência do erro abaixo.

O primeiro passo seguido foi tentar realizar um upgrade do catalogo. Esta ação foi realizada conectando no catalogo rman, através do ambiente 12c.

RMAN> upgrade catalog;

recovery catalog owner is RMAN
enter UPGRADE CATALOG command again to confirm catalog upgrade

RMAN> upgrade catalog;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: ORA-01917: user or role 'RECOVERY_CATALOG_USER' does not exist

Porém apos algum tempo em execução, o processo apresentou erro.
RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: ORA-01917: user or role 'RECOVERY_CATALOG_USER' does not exist
Este erro é um bug (Bug 17465689) e ocorre devido a necessidade de permissões adicionais para o catalog rman, porém o processo de upgrade do catalogo não concede de forma automática.
Para contornar esse problema, basta seguir as instruções da Doc ID 1915561.1, que recomenda a execução dos scripts dbmsrmansys.sql e dbmsrmanvpc.sql para virtual private catalog. A conexão ao catalogo rman para execução dos scripts, deve ser realizada a partir do Oracle 12c com o usuário SYS.

Apos executar este processo, podemos conectar novamente ao rman e realizar o processo de upgrade do catalogo e posteriormente registrar o mesmo.
