Scenario:- So here i am producing a test case where I will need to recover the database but the last archivelog is not present in system which required for the database recovery.
Database Version:- Oracle 11g R2
Database SID:- prim
First before the doing the activity i'am taking a full database backup along with archivelogs.

The above error comes generally in two cases,
1. Either the controlfile autobackup is not present in os level
2. Or if the controlfiles are not present in Flash recovery area, because by default RMAN looks for controlfile autobackup in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or if FRA is enabled then in\
flash recovery area location.
So to overcome the above issue we can will point out the exact autobackup location to rman

Additional information: 3
So when trying to do a cancel based recovery here we see the database report an error that its missing '/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/PRIM/archivelog/2015_01_08/o1_mf_1_6_%u_.ar
c' archivelog file.
So i checked at os level and couldnt find the archivelog file.
Since we did shutdown immediate, we need to apply the current online redolog when it prompts for.Alternatively, we can supply the names of each of the online redo logs that we have and
Oracle will reject the one(s) that do not correspond to Sequence#6.

RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 01/08/2015 23:20:55
RMAN-06172: no AUTOBACKUP found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece
The above error comes generally in two cases,
1. Either the controlfile autobackup is not present in os level
2. Or if the controlfiles are not present in Flash recovery area, because by default RMAN looks for controlfile autobackup in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or if FRA is enabled then in\
flash recovery area location.
So to overcome the above issue we can will point out the exact autobackup location to rman
RMAN> set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u01/app/%F';
executing command: SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT
RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;

so while opening the database using resetlogs we found the above error.

Additional information: 3
So when trying to do a cancel based recovery here we see the database report an error that its missing '/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/PRIM/archivelog/2015_01_08/o1_mf_1_6_%u_.ar
c' archivelog file.
So i checked at os level and couldnt find the archivelog file.
Since we did shutdown immediate, we need to apply the current online redolog when it prompts for.Alternatively, we can supply the names of each of the online redo logs that we have and
Oracle will reject the one(s) that do not correspond to Sequence#6.

So we see we have the table as well which we created after taking the full backup.
