Sizing the catalog

The size of a catalog database partially depends on how many target databases you need it to support. Here are the space requirements we recommend for a minimal catalog configuration:

  • System tablespace: 200 MB

  • Temporary tablespace: 20 MB

  • Rollback/undo tablespace: 20 MB

  • Tablespace for the catalog schema: 20 MB

  • Two groups with two members each of online redo logs sized at 2 MB

Depending on the number of targets and the frequency of backups, you will most likely require more space than these minimal settings.
