Catalogs are the best place to keep your database records, as you can keep a long history and also be safe about your backup locations in case you lose your controlfile. The catalog also allow you to share the backup across the data guard instances.
You need to do all sort of operations that involve a catalog.
Practice the following:
- Create/Drop/Upgrade/Import the Catalog
- Register/Unregister a Database
- Manage the Virtual Private Catalog Owner
- Manage Global Scripts
- Change DB Unique Name and Incarnation
