I want to restore a backup of production into my test environment.The backup was done in online mode.Do I need the archived redo after the backup in order to restore the DB or can I just do a restore and then resetlogs.

You'll need all the archive logs that were generated during the backup and maybe the next one or two in sequence just to be safe.

You won't need the online redo logs to do the restore, once you get to the last archive log, you can OPEN RESETLOGS.

Let me get this right, you did an online backup WITHOUT archive logs?

I did an online backup with archived logs , the backup is on the BCV ( Third volume in an EMC arrays).The archived log is on tape.I might not be able to recover the archived logs from tape .After I restore my backup , I do not a point in time as this is test, Can I open the database with resetlogs option or do I most definitily need the archived redo.

If you don't care about losing the data in the archive logs, you can most certainly do a point-in-time-recovery and OPEN RESETLOGS.

Just CANCEL recovery when it asks for the first archive log and then OPEN RESETLOGS.
