Mount the backup to the server used to duplicate database

Add auxiliary database into source database tnsname.ora

Start auxiliary database at nomount mode

Get last thread and sequence number of Source Database Backup

RMAN> list backupset;

Duplicate with RMAN

On destination node,
$ export NLS_DATE_FORMAT="DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS"

$ rman target sys/xxxx@csis2:1521/prod auxiliary sys/xxxx@tcsqa

set echo on
run{
 allocate auxiliary channel C1 device type disk;
 SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 782 thread 1 ;
 duplicate target database to QA;
}
