This error  generally occur when we go for TSPIR(tablespace point-in-time recovery) . When we issue the "recover tablespace ... "  command we get this error as

This error occur because the previous failed TSPITR attempt wasn't cleaned up properly . Therefore to solve this issue, we have to clean the failed TSPIR attempts .Issue the following procedure to clean up the previous failed auxiliary creation attempt:

SQL> exec dbms_backup_restore.manageauxinstance ('TSPITR',1) ;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
