I've tried this on 12.1.0.2 on Linux 6 and 11.2.0.4 on Windows 2008R2 with
the same result.

   - Single node database with a single node physical standby.
   - Incremental level 0 backup on the standby.
   - Create another new instance on the same server as the standby.
   - Restore the control file and the database from the backups that were
   taken from the standby.
   - Set new names for the data files during restore.
   - Switch all data files to the newly restored copies.
   - Rename online log files.
   - PITR on new database.
   - Receive the error ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be
   consistent

No matter how far I try to recover, I continue to receive this error:
ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error
below
ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1:
'/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/dbs/data_D-ORCLA_TS-SYSTEM_FNO-1'

All data files that are not read only are at the same SCN and above the SCN
of the read only files.

SYSTEM, SYSAUX and UNDOTBS1 are all in a "fuzzy" state, although I can't
figure out why.
