Question

Hi,
I have add one datafile in our primary RAC DB. We had logical standby database with file management is equal to manual. Both the primary RAC and logical standby db have the different storage structure. When the archive applied on the logical standby database its throws the error " error in creating datafile 'path'";
Would appreciate if come to know the steps to add the datafile in this kind of environment. and how can i overcome from this problem now except skip transaction for that ddl.
Thanks in advance.

When the archive applied on the logical standby database its throws the error " error in creating datafile 'path'";Can you post the error message with the number.
From Manual..
8.3.1.2 Adding a Tablespace and a Datafile When STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT Is Set to MANUAL
The following example shows the steps required to add a new datafile to the primary and standby database when the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to MANUAL. You must set the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter to MANUAL when the standby datafiles reside on raw devices.
Add a new tablespace to the primary database:
SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE new_ts DATAFILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db2.dbf'
2> SIZE 1m AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;
Verify the new datafile was added to the primary database:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
NAME
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db1.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db2.dbf
Perform the following steps to copy the tablespace to a remote standby location:
Place the new tablespace offline:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE new_ts OFFLINE;
Copy the new tablespace to a local temporary location using an operating system utility copy command. Copying the files to a temporary location will reduce the amount of time the tablespace must remain offline. The following example copies the tablespace using the UNIX cp command:
% cp /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db2.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db2.dbf
Place the new tablespace back online:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE new_ts ONLINE;
Copy the local copy of the tablespace to a remote standby location using an operating system utility command. The following example uses the UNIX rcp command:
%rcp /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db2.dbf standby_location
Archive the current online redo log file on the primary database so it will get transmitted to the standby database:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
Use the following query to make sure that Redo Apply is running. If the MRP or MRP0 process is returned, Redo Apply is being performed.
SQL> SELECT PROCESS, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
Verify the datafile was added to the standby database after the archived redo log file was applied to the standby database:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
NAME
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db1.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db2.dbf
