Since Alex has never done media recovery on a restored datafile(by his own admission), with or without RMAN, nor does he seem capable of reading or understanding oracle's documentation that clearly states that what you posted succintly above is correct, it seems that Alex is determined to remain ignorant of what's needed here.

I don't think Alex has been trained in correct DB backup and restore procedures. I was trained before RMAN so I can do my own OS hot backups but since then I have learned the benefits of RMAN and use it.

Alex doesn't understand, nor does he seem willing to learn.

Why arent they available, you're running in archive log mode correct?

Read oracle's backup and recovery concepts manual and come back with the answer.
