Can CATALOG command be used during restore operation of a backup control file?

Hello Experts,

I have come across an issue during the restore of a backup control file. It doesnot have recovery catalog. Recover operation fails with "RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1 scn 86945" error. On the online oracle documentation , it is mentioned that one has to use catalog command to proceed with recovery. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmadvre.htm#i1006245

My question is, can we explicitly use CATALOG RECOVERY AREA NOPROMPT command after restore and prior recover opeartion in the RMAN script when restoring from a backup control file?

 What are the pros and cons if any? I tried this command in a script and I did not face any errors . Just wanted to be sure that this can be done. Thanks in advance!

Howdy, Stranger!
