RMAN-20001: Target Database Not Found In Recovery Catalog

Problem :

While taking backup by connecting to catalog database, Got RMAN-20001 : target database not found  error.

Solution :

This is because, the target database is not registered in the catalog. So we need connect to catalog database and register the same.

RMAN> connect target sys/oracle@cat_db

connected to target database: TARGET (DBID=30781588877)

RMAN> connect catalog rman_usr/rman@cat_db

connected to recovery catalog database

-- Now fire register command

RMAN> register database;

database registered in recovery catalog
starting full resync of recovery catalog

full resync complete


Hope it Helps!
