Problem

Restore after a switch between ZDB methods fails

If you perform a restore to a specified time (T_RESTORE) that lies in the time interval
between the start of the first backup of the entire database using the new method
(T_START), and before this backup is finished (T_FINISH), RMAN may try to restore
the backup files made with the new method using a channel allocated for backup
files made using the previous method. As a result, the restore procedure fails.

Action
Restore the backup session manually using RMAN scripts. Add the required parameter
to the allocated channels, that is OB2PROXYCOPY=1 for the channel which will be
used for restoring the backup made using the proxy-copy ZDB method. Then restore
the backup files using the correct channels.
For example, if you switched from the backup set to the proxy-copy ZDB method, the
script may look similar to the following one:
run {
ALOCATE CHANNEL 'dev_0' TYPE 'sbt_tape'
PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=Path_to_Data_Protector_MML,
ENV(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=DB_NAME)';
ALOCATE CHANNEL 'dev_1' TYPE 'sbt_tape'
PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=Path_to_Data_Protector_MML,
