Missing archivelogs when restoring duplicate We restore backups to our test systems from production via a point in time RMAN Duplicate with an online full backup and hourly archivelog.  Every blue moon something goes wrong (working to resolve that separately) and I end up not having an archive log.  It spends hours restoring the datafiles, gets to the archivelogs and then bombs.  

How can I verify that RMAN has all the correct archivelogs and datafiles to restore before it starts pushing the data around significantly?
Use RESTORE ... PREVIEW. I intentionally deleted some archivelogs, so I do not have a backup of them.

Now I want to check if I can restore the database to a specified time:

run
{
  set until time "to_date('2018-11-12 19:58:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')";
  restore database preview;
}


Output:

executing command: SET until clause

Starting restore at 12-NOV-18
using channel ORA_DISK_1
