The default CATALOG database is $ARC (or $NETVAULT_CATALOG when using NetVault). It must be created and appropriate access privileges must be granted before the first use of the CATALOG runtime parameter.

Catalog information for all archive jobs is kept in the one CATALOG table. To continue using the previous multi-table implementation of CATALOG, specify the OLDCATALOG parameter in addition to the CATALOG parameter. Using old catalog tables during RESTORE or COPY is valid, even if OLDCATALOG is not specified. ARCMAIN searches for a table with the old naming style, and uses it if one exists.
