Oracle, NMDA and incremental forever ?

Question

Hello group, I'm in need of some clarifications here, can you tell me if there is a way to implement a 'forever incremental' strategy on Networker 8 (could be upgraded to 9) for Oracle 11g ? Target is a Data Domain, NMDA installed on the Linux host. If I understand correctly, Networker implement Oracle Block Change Tracking through RMAN for incrementals backups. Although, Oracle mention a limit of eight bitmaps files (change file index) in its documents. Does Networker allow more than this limit somehow ? I'm lost. Thank you.

The backup level in Oracle backups is controlled in the RMAN script. NetWorker does not have control on the type of backups for Oracle.
