All the steps to set up a duplicated database are already explained in this previous post.
Let's duplicate for the first time our target database PROD located on a different server (vsi10) using a backup taken from the source database PROD located on vsi08 server: the duplicated database have the same SID and directories structure of source database.
So I need to take a backup of PROD database at vsi08 server

The database was duplicated using a backup coming from the target server. Let's see if the two databases have the same data.
[oracle@vsi08 PROD]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL@vsi08> select count(*) from sys.test;
COUNT(*)
----------
1000
On vsi10 server I have of course the same amount of data:
[oracle@vsi10 ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL@vsi10> select count(*) from sys.test;
COUNT(*)
----------
1000
Now on vsi08 server (the target database) I executes some switch of logfile, inserting 2000 more rows on SYS.TEST table:
[oracle@vsi08 PROD]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL@vsi08> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.
SQL@vsi08> insert into sys.test select level from dual connect by level<1001;
1000 rows created.
SQL@vsi08> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL@vsi08> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.
SQL@vsi08> insert into sys.test select level from dual connect by level<1001;
1000 rows created.
SQL@vsi08> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL@vsi08> select count(*) from sys.test;
COUNT(*)
----------
3000
I would like to resynchronize the already duplicated database with these 2000 rows so I first have to backup the new archived redo log @vsi08 server:

Finished Duplicate Db at 04-04-2013 12:20:56
Let's see how many rows are into SYS.TEST table
[oracle@vsi10 ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
...
SQL@vsi10> select count(*) from sys.test;
COUNT(*)
----------
3000
That's all right.My duplicated database is really synchronized with PROD database @vsi08 server: I have the same amount of rows into SYS.TEST table.
But now I want to go back in time on my vsi10 server and exactly I want to go back few minutes before I inserted 2000 more rows on vsi08 server.
After I inserted those rows on PROD database @vsi08 server I took a backup of the archived redo log: as you can seen above that backup started at 04-04-2013 12:05:03 (search in this post the following text: Starting backup at 04-04-2013 12:05:03) and, since it includes the new 2000 rows, I need simply to do not apply it during the duplicate process.
Let's see what my current time is:
SQL@vsi10> select sysdate from dual; SYSDATE ------------------- 04-04-2013 12:38:17So I need to go back in time for about 40 minutes that is before the backup including the new 2000 rows started (11:58:31 < 12:05:03)
SQL@vsi10> select sysdate-(40/(24*60)) from dual; SYSDATE-(40/(24*60) ------------------- 04-04-2013 11:58:31With the already available backups copied previously on vsi10 server I start in NOMOUNT mode the instance...
SQL@vsi10> shutdown immediate;
...
SQL@vsi10> startup nomount;
......and then I simply execute once again the duplicate target database command using also the untill time clause.
In this way I'm able to have a complete copy on vsi10 server of the PROD database that was running on vsi08 server untill '04-04-2013 11:58:31' time:

As you can verify the above RMAN command didn't apply the backup set o1_mf_annnn_TAG20130404T120505_8otn2kln_.bkp containing the 2000 rows: indeed when I query the SYS.TEST table I can see only the first 1000 rows.
[oracle@vsi10 ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
...
SQL@vsi10> select count(*) from sys.test;
COUNT(*)
----------
1000
Let's insert on PROD database @vsi08 server other 2000 rows:
[oracle@vsi08 PROD]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
...
SQL@vsi08> select count(*) from sys.test;
COUNT(*)
----------
3000
SQL@vsi08> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.
SQL@vsi08> insert into sys.test select level from dual connect by level<1001;
1000 rows created.
SQL@vsi08> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.
SQL@vsi08> insert into sys.test select level from dual connect by level<1001;

Commit complete.
