does a solution exist for this problem?

yes.

RMAN. :-) it is too late for RMAN to help you on this recovery, but in the "lessons learned" category, it may be a good time to suggest using rman to manage your backups and recoveries going forward. the problem you face now could have easily been avoided with rman.
