Michal I haven't tried what you describe. You may find it beneficial to study what Robert Freeman has to say on this subject in his Oracle9i RMAN Backup & Recovery book.

I completed first step of RMAN online backup and incomlete recovery with resetlogs without problems. But in second step I am in trouble: - after reseting recovery catalog and switch to next incarnation I am proceeding with RMAN online backup - then I try to recover from these online backups (after incomlete recovery with resetlogs) - restore database is OK - recover database using backup controlfile until change (resetlogs_change#-1) is also OK for all archived logs - alter database open resetlogs reports error ORA-1113 and ORA-1110 - system01.dbf needs data recovery or ORA-1152 and ORA-1110 - system01.dbf was not recovered from sufficient old backup (sorry -I am translating error messages from Czech) I know I should do full cold backup after incomlete recovery but there is no way how to recover from online backups? Or am I missing something?
