Ron,
Production?? I assume this is a crisis.
You didn't mention your server. I'll assume Unix.
The key is whether you can put the RMAN backup file to the same path where
they were originally backed up to. In a pinch you can try creating a link
for the original location. Do you have a copy of the control file taken
after the backup? That will make it much easier. I'm assuming that you
backed the database up to disk. RMAN will want to restore the data files to
the original locations. If those locations are unavailable you can tell RMAN
to use a different location for each file.
You only need the dbid if you are using a catalog. Two databases with the
same dbid can't be registered in the same catalog.
