failure of catalog command
Since the Controlfile restored is of type backup controlfile , an implict reysnc is been done when the catalog command or any other rman command is been run due to which it tries to resync files present in the FRA.
This Implict resync is encountering an issue and reporting 3113 error.
Issue is resolved using the following Workaround :-
If using Pfile
Comment out db_recovery_file_dest and db_recovery_file_dest and perform the catalog again.
If using Spfile
Alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='' ; Alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size='' ; Rman> Connect target / Rman> Catalog start with '/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/datastore/TEST/backupset/2016_04_03';
