Tanel,
Do you mean if I am using current controlfile to recover database, It doesn't 
matter the backupset is obsolete or not in the rman catalog repository 
database, is that sounds right? So, I just have to restore the old backupset 
from tape to disk and issue recover database command? At beginning, I thought 
to recatalog the backupset, make it valid and then recover from it. However, I 
couldn't find this kind of operation in manual. So I am wondering how to 
recover it from an obsolete backupset? 
Thanks again,

Joan
