I am trying to figure out in one of our scripts that is used for standby database recovery, it has a statement like this:
$catit="catalog backuppiece '\\mybackupserver\mydb\backupset\$B';";
I know our database is using control file for back up information, since every time we connect RMAN we just use rman target /.
So I don't think RMAN catalog is used, but what does above statement mean?
it looks to me it makes the backup pieces into Rman catalog from our prod server to our standby server, but we don't use RMAN catalog, so does not mean even we don't use it, there is some kind of RMAN information stored in database?
Thanks,
I also attach the entire script at an attachment. it is run on the standby server.
