I have a data guard primary database in Oracle 12.1.0.2. It is backed up with RMAN, via CommVault. I want to do a test restore to a non-data guard database. The problem I'm having is that when I do the restore, it keeps trying to create the files on the secondary and fails because the directory doesn't exist. I know there has to be a way to do this, but I can't find it in any of the RMAN documentation.

What I'm doing is connect to the target database, which is open nomount. Then set the dbid to the source database, allocate the channels, and do a duplicate database. I think what's happening is that it's bringing the control files from the source and then it gets confused because the control files know about the secondary database.
