RMAN-06094: datafile 344 must be restored : in duplicate db from active db

Question

Hi All,
I am on oracle 11g database running on Solaris Sparc 64 Bit.
I am trying to use the RMAN Duplication command using the active database with the following command :
rman target sys/manager@TARGET nocatalog  auxiliary sys/manager@DEST <<EOF
run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
allocate channel ch2 type disk;
allocate channel ch3 type disk;
allocate channel ch4 type disk;
allocate channel ch5 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel ch6 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel ch8 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel ch7 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel ch9 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel ch10 type disk;
SET NEWNAME FOR DATABASE TO '/p1/oracle/DEST/DEST/datafile/%U';
duplicate database to DEST from active database nofilenamecheck;}I got this error at the end of the output :
datafile 340 switched to datafile copy

Hi All,
The datafile 344 and 345 belonged to two different tablespaces which were not used.
Morover , I dont know why , but the timestamp of both the datafiles 344 and 345 was showiing as JULY 6 instead of JULY 28.
So i was sure this was causing the trouble.
I dropped those 2 tablespaces and then reran the script again by removing the created controlfiles and the database was open.
Just curious to know why were those 2 datafiles not getting populated with the latest timestamp ?

KkWhat is the status of both the data files? can you query from source database
SQL> select file_id,online_status from dba_data_files where file_id in (344,345);
Does that backup contain those two data files? If those two tablespaces have only one data file is it in Read only mode?
