RMAN-05541: no archived logs found in target database

Problem:

You are getting  RMAN-05541 error when duplicating database from a consistent (cold) RMAN backup.

Error Message:

RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 07/08/2014 18:12:40 RMAN-05501: aborting duplication of target database RMAN-05541: no archived logs found in target database

Solution:

The error should be resolved by using NOREDO clause for your duplicate command.

Example:

run { set until time "to_date('08-OCT-2014 10:15:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"; DUPLICATE DATABASE TO targetDB BACKUP LOCATION '/backup_Location' NOREDO;    }
