By default, RMAN restores a backup of a datafile to its default location.
You use these set newname commands to change this behaviour.
A command like "Set Newname for database to new " automatically changes the filenames..  
When you use this command, RMAN creates the specified datafiles or tempfiles with Oracle Managed File names in the location specified by DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST.
Ofcoure you should set the parameters like DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST and db_create_online_log_dest_n for using it.
