Your
initial statement is correct. If you use rman to backup, you must use it to restore/recover. All the rman backup sets are understandable only by rman.

  OK, this may be dumb.  I was under the impression   that if you use rman to back up your database, you MUST use rman to restore   and recover. 
  Is this not true?  Is it possible to utilize rman   for restore and sign in to sql*plus or svrmgrl to initiate the recovery?   

  Any comments are appreciated.  THanks   Lisa Koivu Oracle Database
