Symptoms
You are attempting to restore the database with RMAN. You know the restore time is in a previous incarnation. You have already reset the incarnation:
The database is mounted. RMAN> restore database; fails with RMAN-20011.
Error: RMAN 20011
Text: target database incarnation is not current in recovery catalog
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cause: the database incarnation that matches the resetlogs change# and time
of the mounted target database controlfile is not the current
incarnation of the database
Action: If 'reset database to incarnation <key>' was used to make an old
incarnation current then restore the target database from a backup that
matches the incarnation and mount it. You will need to do 'startup
nomount' before you can restore the controlfile using RMAN. Otherwise
use 'reset database to incarnation <key>' make the intended incarnation
current in the recovery catalog.
Changes
Resetted the incarnation of the database marked as CURRENT, to a prior RESETLOGS SCN.
