That only happens with online backups.
The switch happens automatically because the last update time stamp that is recorded in the database must match the one recorded in the after image. When you roll an after image extent forward against a database the time stamp in the after image is verified against the one recorded in the database ( which you would have restored from your backup in the first place of course ) and if the don't match exactly the roll forward fails. If they don't match there is no way to roll the after image forward. Full Stop.
