Recover database until cancel?

Question

I'm trying to use the command restore database until cancel, but I'm getting the following erro:

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00558: error encountered while parsing input commands
RMAN-01009: syntax error: found "cancel": expecting one of: "scn, sequence, time"
RMAN-01007: at line 1 column 24 file: standard input

Is this command deprecated?

My Oracle database version is the 11g R2

Answer 1

recover database until cancel is for user managed recovery in SQL*Plus.

It is not a valid syntax in RMAN.

Answer 2

It's "recover", not "restore":

recover database until cancel;
