Error when recovering a database in a new server

Question

Hi folks,
I took a full RMAN backup from a Windows Server 2003 32bit and tried to restore it in a new server (Windows Server 2003 64bit). The restore was apparently ok, but when recovering, I got this error:
archived log for thread 1 with sequence 0 is already on disk as file /u01/app/oracle/oradata/GIEVOTE2/redo01.log
Oracle 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/oradata/GIEVOTE2/system01.dbf'
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of recover command at 06/15/2010 14:04:59
RMAN-06053: unable to perform media recovery because of missing log
RMAN-06025: no backup of archived log for thread 1 with sequence 1041 and starting SCN of 1745356128 found to restore
I tried to recover using backup controlfile until cancel but same error. I don't need to apply any archivelog as it is a testing env.
Info:
Oracle Server: 10g R1 (10.1.0.4)
DB Type: Single Instance
Thanks in advance,

You do not show your rman script, but if you are restoring to another server, you will need to do an incomplete recovery
This will require a 'set until' parameter.
eg:
run {
set until sequence xxx thread 1;
allocate channel dev1 type disk;
recover database;
sql 'alter database open resetlogs';
or
run {
set until time "to_date( '22-03-2010 10:00:00', 'DD-MM-RRRR HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate channel dev1 type disk;
recover database;
sql 'alter database open resetlogs';
If you do not use this it will keep requesting logs until it finds the end of thread marker (EOT) in a log, which occurs when the database is shutdown, and this will be a complete recovery
