Backup from 9i and restore this backup to 10g using RMAN

Question

Hi all;
I have a database 9i on SuSE9. And I want to restore another server this database's backupsets to 10g on SuSE10 using RMAN. Then I have run following scripts.
On 9i Database: (SID=discoden)_
RMAN > backup database plus archivelog;
and I have three backupsets (05l87nik_1_1, 06l87nio_1_1, 07l87nml_1_1) and one controlfile backup (c-4279316798-20100310-00). then I copy these backuppieces to new server.
On 10g Database:_
+1. I have created udump and bdump folder into $ORACLE_BASE/admin/discoden/+
+2. I have copied init.ora, pasted initdiscoden.ora in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs folder. And I have changed following parameters+
db_name = discoden
shared_pool_size = 350000000
control_files = (/disk2/oracle/discoden/control01.ctl, /disk2/oracle/discoden/control02.ctl, /disk2/oracle/discoden/control03.ctl)
user_dump_dest = /opt/oracle/admin/discoden/udump
background_dump_dest = /opt/oracle/admin/discoden/bdump
compatible = 10.2.0.3.0
undo_management = auto
+3. export ORACLE_SID=discoden+
+4. cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin+
+5. ./rman target /+
+6. RMAN> startup nomount;+
+7. RMAN> restore controlfile from '/disk2/setup/c-4279316798-20100310-00';+
+8. RMAN> alter database mount ;+
+9. RMAN> catalog backuppiece '/disk2/setup/05l87nik_1_1';+
RMAN> catalog backuppiece '/disk2/setup/06l87nio_1_1';
RMAN> catalog backuppiece '/disk2/setup/07l87nml_1_1';
+10. SQL> alter database rename file '/disk2/oracle9i/databases/discoden/redo01.log' to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/redo01.log';+
SQL> alter database rename file '/disk2/oracle9i/databases/discoden/redo02.log' to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/redo02.log';
SQL> alter database rename file '/disk2/oracle9i/databases/discoden/redo03.log' to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/redo03.log';
+11. RMAN > list backup; (With this command, I have learned last sequence number. For example 204)+
+12. I have run following command on RMAN:+
+run {+
set until sequence 204;
set newname for datafile 1 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/cwmlite01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/drsys01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 5 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/example01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 6 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/indx01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 7 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/odm01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 8 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/tools01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 9 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/users01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 10 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/xdb01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 11 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/DATASPACE1.dbf';
set newname for datafile 12 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/CARDEM.dbf';
set newname for datafile 13 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/MUHASEBE.dbf';
set newname for datafile 14 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/ORTAK.dbf';
set newname for datafile 15 to '/disk2/oracle/discoden/MAGAZA.dbf';
restore database;
switch datafile all;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
+}+
Then I have an error like following lines:
+..........+
media recovery complete, elapsed time: 00:00:04
Finished recover at 06-MAR-10
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

I don't understand the mistakes. I hope your helps. Thank you.

Hi,
You have followed the steps correctly while restoring and recovering the 9i database under 10g home using RMAN except the last step of opening the database.
Remove 'alter database open resetlogs;' from the rman script and rerun the script. Once the database is restored and recovered, open the database with RESETLOGS & UPGRADE option through SQL*Plus as below.
SQL> alter database open resetlogs upgrade;
Once the database is opened, create the SYSAUX tablespace and run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/ upgrd.sql catupgrd.sql script to upgrade the database to 10g ( follow the steps for upgrading the database).
