I actually find the repository of little use. If I have an enterprise with many databases then I will use it for reporting but that's about it.
It just seems to complicate the overall administrative costs and thus, the burden/benefit ratio is not all that good.

Interesting thread, since I am just embarking on using RMAN.  If the repository is to go away then why bother learning the intricacies of it.  Has anyone else heard the RMAN repository was going away?  It appears much simpler to setup w/out the repository.  Besides reporting advantages, what are the real benefits to using a repository?
 
Thanks,
Gene
PS. Now reading Robert's book.

its a pain in the arse but you have to pull out the backed up
controlfile(you did backup the controlfile, eh?) out of the rman backup
piece(i've got a script that will do it automagically based on the
filename pieces you pass it).

then once the backed up controlfile is restored, then you can do normal
recovery procedure.
