RMAN will perform a tablespace point in time recovery with just a few simple commands. Connect to the target database, the catalog schema and auxiliary instance. Run these commands to recover the USERS tablespace up to (but not including) time 15:34:38 on July 22: 

run {
   set command id to 'Perform TSPITR';
   set until time "to_date('22-JUL-2002 15:34:38,
                           'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
   allocate clone channel d1 type disk;
   recover tablespace users;
}
