In a new Oracle 12cR2 database, i was attempting to register it with the Recovery Catalog:

RMAN> register database;

starting full resync of recovery catalog

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-03002: failure of register command at 06/24/2019 06:56:42

RMAN-03014: implicit resync of recovery catalog failed

RMAN-03009: failure of full resync command on default channel at 06/24/2019 06:56:42

ORA-01403: no data found

In order to solve this problem I needed to re-create the control file:

SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace as ‘/orcl/backup/CTL_DEF.txt’;

SQL> exit;

 

// A text file with control file definition is created, I will only use the NORESETLOG section and create a sql based file as shown below (this is template):

vi create_controlfile.sql

CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE “DBT11” NORESETLOGS  ARCHIVELOG

Now try registering the database again:

rman target /

RMAN> connect catalog catalog01/XXXXXX@catalogdb

RMAN> register database;
