While taking backup by connecting to catalog database, Got RMAN-20001 : target database not found error.
Below is the exact error;
released channel: t1 released channel: t2 released channel: t3 RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of crosscheck command at 11/24/2015 15:40:53 RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20001: target database not found in recovery catalog RMAN> register database 2> ;
This is because, the target database is not registered in the catalog. So connect to catalog and register the same.
