How to fix the Error RMAN-06442: enter UPGRADE CATALOG command again to confirm catalog upgrade ?
You can fix this error in Oracle by following the below steps
If you really want to upgrade the recovery catalog, then enter the UPGRADE CATALOG command again. If you are not going to use an older version of RMAN with this recovery catalog, then compatibility is not an issue.
