Database Error Messages

RMAN-06436

enter DROP CATALOG command again to confirm catalog removal

Cause

The DROP CATALOG command deletes the recovery catalog, rendering all database backups unusable, and should be used with care. The command must be entered twice to ensure that this is really what you want to do. If this is a Recovery Appliance catalog, then all backups stored in the server will also be deleted.


Action

If you really want to remove the recovery catalog, then enter the DROP CATALOG command again.
