What happens to RMAN catalogs after upgrading 11g R2 database to PDB?

edited Sep 4, 2014 3:13AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 9 commentsAnswered

Hello Experts,

Suppose, I want to upgrade my 11g R2 database. After upgrading it to 12c say if I plug that into a new CDB instance.Then the backup sets which were created prior to this upgrade will have no entry in the CDB control file in which I have plugged that DB as PDB. So, if I dont have RMAN recovery catalog and I rely only on the Control File for backups history then after upgrade what happens to that?

Is there a way to use the previous backups after upgrading to 12c as a PDB?

Can I upgrade my 11g R2 DB as a CDB instead of non CDB and then plugging into new CDB? [Can I convert a pre 12c DB into 12c CDB directly?]

Howdy, Stranger!
