Returning to Old Datafiles

I am a totally newbie when it comes to recovery and I assuming that this is a simple question.

What I want to do is to go back to using last Monday's data for a particular tablespace. What I plan to do is:

1. Get the old datafiles from tape.
2. Take the tablespace offline.
3. Overwrite the current datafiles with the old ones.
4. Re-open the tablespace.

However, I don't want to run all of the transactions from last Monday forward.

Are there any gotcha's here that I have to look out for? Any advice?

Our set-up is Oracle 7.3.2 on AIX 4.1.5. Cold backups are done nightly.

Thanks,
