We are experimenting with RMAN. Now testing the "duplicate" command. I tried running the duplicate command and it is asking for a backup from April 20 instead of the current backup. I notice that a new incarnation of the database was created on April 20 probably when we tested a restore of the database. How do I get rman to use the correct backup?
