Goal

While using ZDLRA as Backup solution, If the customer would like to use a dedicated user account for REDO TRANSPORTATION to implement "Real Time Redo Shipping", we need to create a user with same name on the PROTECTED DATABASE and the ZDLRA Recovery Catalog..

However, while creating user on 12c Protected Database with CDB Option, common user must have C## prepended. But on Recovery catalog which is NOT CREATED with CDB option ( by design ), doesn't allow us to create user with C## prepended..

IMPORTANT : If the protected database is not configured with physical standby, then we no need to create a REDO TRANSPORT USER for real time redo shipping. Only VPC( Virtual Private Catalog ) user has to be created on the Recovery catalog. 

ON ZDLRA RECOVERY CATALOG
===========================
SQL> create user c##rauser identified by ********;
create user c##rauser identified by ********
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-65094: invalid local user or role name

ON PROTECTED DATABASE
======================

SQL> create user rauser identified by ********;
create user rauser identified by ********
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-65096: invalid common user or role name
