Oracle support informed me that I could do a restore to 12C and then use the "NID" utility to rename the database.  I am able to restore the controlfile, spfile(which I edit in a pfile), and the required datafiles.

I do a SCN point-in-time recover and it recovers successfully.  However, when I attempt to open the database in 12C using, "alter database open resetlogs" it fails. Either file 1 needs more recovery or a I other errors.  I have been working on this for days with no success.

Oracle is now telling me,

"Using RMAN duplicate with noopen also requires you run the upgrade scripts.

Howdy, Stranger!
