Oracle Error Message

RMAN-05507: standby control file checkpoint (string) is more recent than duplication point-in-time (string)

Reason for the Error

A DUPLICATE FOR STANDBY command was issued, but the checkpoint of the control file is more recent than the last archived log or the specified point-in-time.

Solution

If an explicit point-in-time was specified, change it to be at least the control file checkpoint; otherwise archive (and backup/copy) the current log.
