Reason for the Error RMAN-05015: WARNING: not enough information in recovery catalog for specified point-in-time recovery

How to fix the Error RMAN-05015: WARNING: not enough information in recovery catalog for specified point-in-time recovery ?

You can fix this error in Oracle by following the below steps

RMAN assumes that the current set of tablespaces with undo segments is the same set that was in use at the specified Point-in-Time. If the set of tablespaces with undo segments changes, the recovery fails. If recovery fails, use the optional UNDO TABLESPACE clause of the RECOVER command to specify the correct set of tablespaces.
