Cannot drop undo tablespace with Active extents but no active sessions

Hi all,
I am running on 10gr2 oracle database in a Linux 32 bit environment.
I have a corrupted undo datafile. I've been able to recover the datafile but still the alert logs is still showing that it is corrupted.
Now what I'm trying to do is to drop the old undo tablespace like the one discussed here Change undo tablespace in Oracle - Switch Oracle's Undo tablespace.
My problem is I have an Active extent but no active session corresponding to it:
SYS@ccasdb AS SYSDBA > SELECT a.name,b.status
FROM   v$rollname a,v$rollstat b
WHERE  a.usn = b.usn
AND    a.name IN (
                  SELECT segment_name
                  FROM dba_segments
                  WHERE tablespace_name = 'UNDOTBS1'
                 );  2    3    4    5    6    7    8
NAME                           STATUS
_SYSSMU18$                     PENDING OFFLINE
SYS@ccasdb AS SYSDBA > SELECT a.name,b.status , d.username , d.sid , d.serial#
  2  FROM   v$rollname a,v$rollstat b, v$transaction c , v$session d
  3  WHERE  a.usn = b.usn
  4  AND    a.usn = c.xidusn
  5  AND    c.ses_addr = d.saddr
  6  AND    a.name IN (
  7               SELECT segment_name
  8               FROM dba_segments
  9               WHERE tablespace_name = 'UNDOTBS1'
10              );
no rows selected
but still cannot drop the undotablespace.
SYS@ccasdb AS SYSDBA > drop tablespace UNDOTBS1 including contents and datafiles;
drop tablespace UNDOTBS1 including contents and datafiles
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-30013: undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1' is currently in use
Regards,
Tim

Yes i was able to recover the datafile but the alert_log kept on prompting that it is still corrupted. The datafile's status is online.
I want to kill the session/s contributing to the PENDING OFFLINE status of the rollback segment so I can already drop the undotablespace and so
that the alert log will stop prompting for that corrupted datafile in that UNDOTABLESPACE.
Can i Just alter the tablespace's datafiles to offline drop then just drop it. Then I drop the tablespace?

  • Cannot drop undo tablespace

    Hello:
    I've created a new undo tablespace undotbs2. I've set it to the default undo tablespace. When I've tried to drop the old one, I get the following error:
    SQL> conn / as sysdba
    Connected.
    SQL> DROP TABLESPACE undotbs1 INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;
    DROP TABLESPACE undotbs1 INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES
    ERROR at line 1: ORA-01548: active rollback segment '_SYSSMU7$' found, terminate dropping tablespace
    This is a production database. The service is down because the partition with the Oracle tablespaces: system, undo, temp, etc is full.
    After shutting down the database the problem persist: I cannot drop the old undo tablespace because of the same error.
    I've followed the note 1321093.1. Here the query results:

    from dba_rollback_segs rs
    where status not in ('ONLINE','OFFLINE');

    As you can see, there is no pending transactions. No application is connected to the database (service is down), however the database is appling rollbacks since 2 days.

  • Dropping Undo Tablespace 9i

    Hey Folks,
    I really need some help here.
    I'm trying to drop/recreate the undo tablespace (currently 25gig) Oracle 9i
    When I try to drop the undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1' I get the following error:
    “ORA-01548: active rollback segment '_SYSSMU1$' found, terminate dropping tablespace”
    Here's what I have tried so far:
    - Bounced the DB several times hoping to get rid of the reference to the active rollback segment. No luck.
    - Created a new undo table space
    - Tried 'Alter system set undo_tablespace=new_one' (noticed that 10 new rollback segs were created '_SYSMU11$..SYSMU20$' pointing to the new undo tablespace)
    - I then performed an offline drop of the undo tablespace data file. After the offline drop, the system rollback segs SYSMU01$..SYSMU10$ went offline as would be expected.
    - Even with the new undo tablespace, all other application tablespaces still use the old undo which due to the offline drop, no inserts, deletes, etc. will work.
    After all the above, I still get the same error when trying to drop the undo tablespace.
    Any ideas? Ideally I would like to be able to drop the undo tablespace and recreate it, but at this point I'd be happy to bring back the undo tablespace datafile so we can at least use the database again.
    Thanks in advance!!

    SQL> show parameters undo
    undo_retention integer
    10800
    undo_suppress_errors boolean
    FALSE
    undo_tablespace string
    UNDOTBS03
    r.- The undo tablespace which the database is looking for is this one ( UNDOTBS03 )
    What is strange about the lines above is that I have
    all those params above commented out in my
    \pfile\init.ora file (and have bounced the db).
    I’m not sure why they are still showing up.
    r.- Perhaps your instance is started with the spfile instead of the init file
    Here's what we did after the UNDOTBS1 tablespace
    caused the disk to run out of space during a large
    import (from now on we are going to use commit = y):
    1. Created a new undo tablespace UNDOTBS03 - got
    errors so instead we to created it as a temp
    tablespace UNDOTBS03 which worked. r.- Yes, but that tablespace was created as a UNDO TABLESPACE ?
    2. Tried to drop UNDOTBS1 got the following error
    msg:
    ORA-01548: active rollback segment '_SYSSMU1$' found,
    terminate dropping tablespacer.- Of course, the database did not allow to drop it beacause there were pending transactions
    3. SQL> alter system set undo_tablespace =
    'UNDOTBS03' scope = both. Tried dropping UNDOTBS1.
    Same error as in #2 above.r.- There were still pending transactions with the older undo tablespace
    4. We then offline dropped the datafile associated
    with UNDOTBS1 hoping that would then allow us to drop
    UNDOTBS1. Same error as #2.r.- That was the worst you did. You can not drop a tablespace so...
    5. Then tried creating a undo tablespace again:
    Create UNDO tablespace undo_temp
    datafile 'D:\oracle\oradata\usbperf\undo_temp.DBF'
    size 25m autoextend on;
    Error on line 0
    Create UNDO Tablespace undo_temp
    datafile 'D:\oracle\oradata\usbperf\undo_temp.
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-00376: file 2 cannot be read at this time
    ORA-01110: data file 2:
    'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\USBPERF\UNDOTBS01.DBF'
    So that’s where we are. I'm guessing that the
    original undo tablespace corrupted when it tried to
    extend and ran of disk space?
    Thanks again for the help.
    Colin ok I can guide to solve this but you have to do what I am going to tell you step by step. Is this a production database ?

  • Drop Undo Tablespace taking more than 1 hr

    Hi,
    To give you background, I had given an "insert into .. select" command which was inserting 3 millions of rows of rowidth approx 5000 bytes. The window on which it was given, was closed by mistake.
    After sometime when I checked the size of undo_tablespace, it was 5.5GB. I decided to create a new one and drop the old undo_tbsp.
    I have successfully created new undo tablespace and changed the same in spfile also.
    now when i am dropping the old undo tablespace, its taking long time. its almost an hour, but the tablespace has not been dropped yet.
    I have given following command
    drop tablespace undotbs_01 including contents;
    Any idea, why is it taking so much time, and how long should I wait?
    If someone can give me any other idea on how can I drop the tablespace, that will be great.
    Regards,
    Archana.

    To give you background, I had given an "insert into .. select" command which was inserting 3 millions of rows of rowidth approx 5000 bytes. The window on which it was given, was closed by mistake.This could be the cause.
    I wonder the killed/closed session doesn't hangup with a latch or lock.
    Since the old undo tbs had active transaction, it might have to pending offline status. If so, you can drop it.

    Thanks!Hi,
    I think you need to wait until there's no active rollback segments in the old undotbs before you can drop it. You can also restart the instance to force Oracle to release the old undotbs.

  • Dropping Undo Tablespace

    Hi,
    I am running Oracle 9.2 on Solaris. I have Automatic undo management turned on and have a Undo tablespace by name UNDOTBS. It has a single datafile and has AUTOEXTEND feature turned on. My UNDO_RETENTION was set to 4 hours.
    Presently, the size of UNDOTBS has grown to around 40G and has filled up the file system in which it resides. I need to clean up the file system. In order to do this, I followed the below procedure.
    SQL> create undo tablespace UNDOTBS1 datafile '/u04/oradata/proddb/undo_00.dbf' size 1024M autoextend off;
    SQ> alter system set undo_tablespace=undotbs1 scope=both;
    SQL> alter system set undo_retention=3600 scope=both;
    Now, i checked the alert log and it is offlining all the UNDO segments of the first undo tablespace UNDOTBS. It is taking time and has been more than 1.5 hours. I have a couple of questions here,
    1. As i have issued "alter system undo_tablespace=undotbs1 scope=both", all the new transactions will use the new UNDOTBS1. No new transactions will be using the first undo tablespace UNDOTBS right?
    2. Since, i have issued "alter system undo_retention=3600 scope=both", all the transactions in first undo tablespace UNDOTBS will be rolled back after 2 hours, no matter if it is commited or not. After this period, i am safe to drop the first undo tablespace using "drop tablespace UNDOTBS including contents and datafiles;". Did i get it right?
    Any information will be of a great help.
    THanks,
    Harris.

    Hi,
    Thank you all for the replies. It has been two days since i switched the undo_tablespace to use the new tablespace(undotbs1) but my alert log is still being flooded with " Undo tablespace 1 moved to pending switch out state". I tried the following to see if there are any rows returne from the above query and it did 3 rows, showing some undo segments with the following output
    SQL> select a.name, b.status from v$rollname a, v$rollstat b where a.name in (select segment_name from dba_segments where tablespace_name='UNDOTBS') and a.usn=b.usn;
    Name Status
    _SYSSMU15$      UNKNOWN
    _SYSSMU33$      UNKNOWN
    _SYSSMU9$        PENDING OFFLINE
    I have seen gone through the metalink id: 341372.1 that speaks about this SWITCH-OUT state. How can i make sure what old transactions are still using the Undo segments in first undo tablespace and how can i go about killing them. Could anyone please let me know that i could use the following queries to find the correct sessions that are using the Old Undo tablespace.
    SQL> select ADDR, XIDUSN,STATUS, START_TIME from v$transaction;
    SQL> SELECT
    a.usn,
    a.name,
    b.status,
    c.tablespace_name,
    d.addr,
    e.sid,
    e.serial#,
    e.username,
    e.program,
    e.machine,
    e.osuser
    FROM
    v$rollname a,
    v$rollstat b,
    dba_rollback_segs c,
    v$transaction d,
    v$session e
    WHERE
    a.usn=b.usn AND
    a.name=c.segment_name AND
    a.usn=d.xidusn AND
    d.addr=e.taddr AND
    b.status='PENDING OFFLINE';
    Just wanted to make sure that the second query lists the PENDING OFFLINE segments of the first tablespace right?
    This is a prod. box, so wanted to confirm with you guys before proceeding.
    Thanks,
    Harris.

  • Fastest and easiest way to drop a tablespace with LOB Segments

    When I try to drop a tablespace I get a message that I can't cause it still contains LOB Segments. I searched to see what objects like tables or indexes are in that tablespace and there are none.
    Any one run into this? Any way to get around this issue?

    Sorry,
    Version = 10.2.0.4
    OS = Win2003 32bit
    Command used = DROP TABLESPACE IWORKS_LARGE_TABLES INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;
    Error Message = ORA-22868: table with LOBs contains segments in different tablespaces
    Objects currently in this tablespace:
    SQL> select s.segment_name, s.segment_type
      2    from dba_segments s
      3   where tablespace_name = 'IWORKS_LARGE_TABLES'
      4  ;
    SEGMENT_NAME                                                                     SEGMENT_TYPE
    SYS_IL0000060885C00008$$                                                         LOBINDEX
    SYS_LOB0000060885C00008$$                                                        LOBSEGMENT

    SYS_LOB0000060918C00048$$                                                        LOBSEGMENTI basically want to drop the whole tablespace but these objects are not allowing me to.

  • To drop a tablespace(with contents) in Offline mode

    A test tablespace in the prod (24x7) was not required and to before dropping it I put it in the offline mode (with immediate option) to prevent further access.
    The tablespace is not empty and presently in the offline mode.
    Can I drop this tablespace ?
    How?
    I dont want to perform any recovery. Please suggest?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can :
    SQL> create tablespace test datafile '/u01/ora92/oradata/ora9/test.dbf' size 10M;
    Tablespace created.
    SQL> create table test01(a number) tablespace test;
    Table created.
    SQL> alter tablespace test offline;
    Tablespace altered.
    SQL> drop tablespace test including contents and datafiles;
    Tablespace dropped.
    SQL>You can even do it with the tablespace online :
    SQL> create tablespace test datafile '/u01/ora92/oradata/ora9/test.dbf' size 10M;
    Tablespace created.
    SQL> create table test01(a number) tablespace test;
    Table created.
    SQL> drop tablespace test including contents and datafiles;
    Tablespace dropped.

  • Drop undo tablespace

    Tive que criar uma segunda undo tablespace, mas agora não preciso mais dela. Posso apagá-la normalmente com um drop tablespace ou tenho que fazer alguma verificação antes? Ela não é mais a undo tablespace da instância.

    On the other hand, once you have created a second undo tablespace which is no longer requried, just drop the tablespace, assuming you have not declared this as your database undo tablespace at the UNDO_TABLESPACE instance parameter. You may issue the command:
    drop tablespace yourUndoTablespace including contents and datafiles;
    and you are done.

  • Cannot drop job - says it's running, but it's not

    I did a dbms_scheduler.stop_job (which did not raise any error/warnings), and I killed the database session, but my job is still in user_scheudler_running_jobs view (with null session_id, null cpu_used). When I do a user_scheduler.drop_job, i get an error that the job is running. Any ideas how to get rid of this?
    Thanks
    Paul.

    Hi,
    If a job is forcefully stopped it may take a few minutes for it to be marked as no longer running - it should be done when the database cleans up the process.
    If it remains running after a few minutes (and is not a chain job) then you may be running into a bug tracked internally as bug #7258928 for which a fix may be available through support.
    Hope this helps,
    Ravi.
