RMAN-06429: TARGET database is not compatible with this version of RMAN

I restored a backup from an older version than the current database version. Therefore, when I tried to use the RMAN utility, I received the following errors:

After executing the scripts dbmsrman.sql,dbmsbkrs.sql,prvtrmns.plb and prvtbkrs.plb under the location @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/ as the SYS owner, I was able to use the RMAN utility as below:

sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/prvtrmns.plb
