are you perhaps trying to apply archivelogs of database "A" which is in archivelog mode on database "B" which is in nonarchivelog mode?

[kiran_dba]

database B is just the cold database and im trying to apply the archives of A to B.

[davey23uk]

well the files dont exist and what is a 'cold' database as far as you know it
