RMAN-05541: no archived logs found in target database

This is very interesting error message while performing RMAN Duplication of full database

I have taken a full database backup in a local disk including archive log; when i try to restore the production database in the test environment it has thrown below error message.

ERROR MESSAGE DURING RMAN DUPLICATION

RMAN-05501: aborting duplication of target database

BACKUP START AT: 13:00.00 and completed at 15:30. RMAN looking for the archive log backup files from 12:50:00 to 13.10.00(I have supplied 10 min before & after the backup)

SUGGESTION#1
CHECK THE BACKUP FILES PERMISSION AS A FIRST THINGS

SUGGESTION#2
1) Perform switch log file before start the backup

2) After a long struggle; we found that RMAN is looking for some old archive logs during the start of the hot backup; once we place the old archive log backup in the backup area then RMAN duplication script started working fine. i doesn’t know why RMAN expecting the old archive log files before the backup start; that how it is working in oracle 11gR2(11.2.0.3.0)
