RE: Interesting RMAN duplicate problem.

>> I like MOS note "How to recover and open the database if the
>> archivelog required for recovery is either missing, lost or
corrupted? [ID
>> 465478.1]" which might be of help.

Thanks. Yes, I had seen that one when researching this problem. Unfortunately, I get stumped by this bit in Option 2:

"However, if we restored from an online or hot backup, then we may not be able to open the database, because we still need to apply the archivelogs generated during the said backup in order to synchronize the SCN of the datafiles before we can normally open the database."

All my datafile headers are synchronised - which makes like "interesting".

Cheers,
Norman.
