Autonomous Database as RMAN Recovery Catalog stopped working from 12 January, 2024

Jan 18, 2024 2:39PM

Summary: I was using Autonomous Database as RMAN Recovery Catalog from Mar 10, 2022 without problems as described in documentation (https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/autonomous-database-serverless/doc/autonomous-rman-recovery-catalog.html). But from 12 January, 2024 it stopped working

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

after "connect catalog rman$vpc/password@connect_string;" command RMAN shows error message:

Oracle error from recovery catalog database: ORA-44001: invalid schema

when I connect with rman$vpc on SQLDeveloper and execute

select DBMS_RCVCAT.getPackageVersion from dual;

it ends with errors:

ORA-44001: invalid schema

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ASSERT", line 410

ORA-06512: at "RMAN$CATALOG.DBMS_RCVCAT", line 20027
