Restoring archivelogs through RMAN

In running RMAN and restoring a database, the necessary archivelogs are not restored. I found that they have to be restored separately, unless its something we are doing incorrectly. My question is, I have attempted to use the 'restore archivelog like 'PROD_1_2%' but it fails with RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20242: specification does not match any archivelog in the recovery catalog

What am I doing wrong? Only the 'restore archivelog all' seems to work, but I get back more than I need. Thanks in advance.
