You must copy the backup pieces onto the destination host - not just the archived logs.
Further , they must be in the same directory name as used when backed up on the primary.
Do an Rman > backup database plus archive log ; If your backup went to /u001/backup create liked name dir on the destination host
and copy the contents across. Received on Wed Jul 27 2005 - 13:43:52 CDT
