i have another database with database name test and instance name test.
i want to recover my prod database to test database.
How to recover my prod database to test database with different instance name, please help
You cannot recover (apply logs of one database to another) except if it's a standby database.
If you would like to clone prod to test, you can definitely do that, follow this link: https://www.support.dbagenesis.com/post/rman-duplicate-database-pitr
