Database Software

Hello, I was wondering if anyone ran into the same problem. I have target database on one server and then the recovery catalog on another server. I am in the process of registering target database with the catalog and I got these issues:

1. Target database is up and running:


SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 738197504 bytes
Fixed Size 2032928 bytes
Variable Size 553655008 bytes
Database Buffers 167772160 bytes
Redo Buffers 14737408 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.
SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
TEST



2. I have added an entry for TEST in the tnsnames.ora on the server where recovery catalog is located (because I am running RMAN remotelly)

3. Trying to register target db (TEST) with recovery catalog:


prod> export ORACLE_SID=TEST
prod> rman target / catalog rman/psswd@catdb

But my target database is up and running, what can be wrong? Thank you!
