It is asking for media recovery due to tablespace in BACKUP mode.
I tried with command ALTER TABLESPACE '------' END BACKUP.
but is give error like----
Alter tablespace PSAPPRD end backup;
Alter tablespace PSAPPRD end backup

Now what i can do further.  file '2' is saying for media recovery but in this case i got a information form oracle site that media recovery should be avoided.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
