rman backup from DG standby database; restore to primary; spfile, rman configure, catalog backup on

I am in the process of setup rman backup to run backup from DG standby database. Couple questions I have:

1) CATALOG backup in primary DB

After backup completed on DG standby database, backup location/directory needs to be catalog from Primary DB server connecting Primary DB to rman catalog so the backup will be visible for restore to Primary database. Is this step important to be done every time after backup complete? OR is it okay to do that in case of a restore/recover?

2) spfile backup and restore

I found that spfile backups from standby DB can be restored to primary database, but it is not useful for the primary database since some values are different for the spfile between primary and standby. According to Oracle, this should work. Am I missing something?

Howdy, Stranger!
