Metalink 102786.1 seems to fit the bill for what you are trying to do.

Do you have a guide or a link to how to do this? I have only ever done
this with RMAN.

Josh,

 

not only one TS,

but SYSTEM, UNDO and the particular TS ( + redos) should be possible to
bring your auxiliary DB up (setting all other datafiles offline).

These should be small enough.

 

Am I missing anything?

All,

 

I am not convinced this is possible. I have a consistent cold backup,
however it is very large and I don't have the space to copy the entire
thing to a dev box. Is it possible to restore only one tablespace from
this cold backup to an auxiliary database? This is not RMAN. It's a
traditional cold backup.

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Josh C.
