RENAMING DATAFILE

Hello All,
We use Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit on Solaris 10.
I ran out of space in one of the mount points and when i checked al the files were oracle datafiles.
so i thought of moving datafile and rename it.
This is the steps i followed and the error thrown....
1)shutdown the database
2)cp /u02/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf /u01/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf
3)startup nomount
4)alter database mount
5)alter database rename file '/u02/oradata/DWH/users01.dbf' to '/u01/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf';
Database altered.
6)alter database open;
alter database open
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01122: database file 4 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 4: '/u01/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf'
ORA-01251: Unknown File Header Version read for file number 4
Where am i doing the mistake....
Thanks in advance

"ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE" doesn't move Oracle files. It assumes that you have already done so at the OS level (e.g. using "mv" or "cp" on Unix/Linux).
The command only updates the controlfile because the controlfile tracks the physical structure of the database.
You had already done a
cp /u02/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf /u01/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbfso your ALTER DATABASE command should have been_
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE  '/u02/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf'  TO  '/u01/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf' ; Since you've issued the wrong command, the controlfile now "thinks" that '/u01/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf' is the USERS datafile !
You could, first try reversing your ALTER DATABASE command as
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/u01/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf' TO  '/u02/oradata/DWH/users01.dbf' ;Assuming that temp01.dbf is a TEMPFile and not DATAFILE, you could drop it and add TEMPFILE '/u01/oradata/DWH/temp01.dbf' to the TEMP Tablespace.

    ##how to move datafiles.
    1. Shut down the database E.G: shutdown immediate
    2. Move datafiles by OS commands. mv /oracle/product/dbs/test02.dbf /oracle/oradata/ORALOG/test02.dbf
    3. Startup the database in mount state e.g: startup mount
    4. Rename that file e.g: alter database rename file '/oracle/product/dbs/test02.dbf' to '/oracle/oradata/ORALOG/test02.dbf';
    5. Open the database e.g: alter database open

  • Is it posisble to use DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT to rename datafile names

    Hi,
    I want to clone a database on the same server.
    My datafiles start with the name of the SID, for examplel: /u04/oradata/ORACP/ORACP_applic_data_01.dbf'
    I want to use "duplicate fom active database", but with the parameter DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT i can only change the directory to clone the datafile to, but the datafile itself is not renamed.
    I am correct?
    Is the only way to solve this, to use SET NEWNAME for all the datafiles to clone?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Reagrds,
    Harry

    Harry;
    Turns out I have a better document :
    http://www.visi.com/~mseberg/rman/create_a_duplicate_database_on_the_same_host.html
    I understand your concern, as far as suggestions double check everything. Thinking RMAN won't overwrite a MOUNTED file.
    *"To restore a datafile, either mount the database, or keep it open and take the datafile to be restored offline."*
    Source - Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide.
    When NOFILENAMECHECK is used with the DUPLICATE command, RMAN does not validate the filenames during restoration. Last I heard you don't use NOFILENAMECHECK when using the same host.
    See - Restoring and Recovering Database Files - Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) E10642-03

  • Renaming datafiles in control files with database mounted but not open

    Hi,
    I moved a database (physical files) from one server to another. I need to modify the contents of the control files since the directory structure of the servers are not the same (and I can't change that).
    I know I can use ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE to produce a script that I can than modify and run with the instance started, database mounted but not open, and that will recreate the control files. I don't want to do that.
    I was also told I can modify the datafile entries in the control files by starting the instance, mounting but not opening the database. Then I can issue the (this is the part I need help with) ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE <file1> to <file2>. When I tried this it complains that <file1> is not found. Obviously the command I used is not the right one,,, what is the right command for what I want to do.
    Thanks,
    Gabriel

  • Problem after rename datafile belongs to SYSTEM tablespace

    Hi
    I've renamed one file belongs to SYSTEM tablespace.
    Then I brought database online and dropped the old file, now I can open database,
    but I can't run backup.
    I delete previous one so I can't restore that file from backup, I have the file because I clonned db,
    but when I restore file and run recover from RMAN database got recovered.
    After that I still can't run backup.

  • How to rename datafiles?

    Hi folks,
    I have created datafiles thru Oracle 9i Admin wizard as DATA01.ORA Here, point to be noted is the data file extension (.ORA) which was shown as the default extension when I created the file. But after creating this, I have seen the existing data files with extensions as USERS.DBF, SYSTEM.DBF and so on.
    What could be the impact if we have data files with .ORA extension? How do I rename this extension to .DBF without loosing the data on it?
    Thank you,
    MMS

    There is no impact to having files named .ora vs .dbf
    It is a matter of convention more than anything.
    If you really want to rename all the datafiles the easiest approach is probably
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba;
    alter database backup controlfile to trace;
    shutdown immediate;
    (If on NT stop the OracleService'SID' for your DB)
    Find the 'udump' directory and find the most recent ORA000????.trc file.
    This contains a script which will recreate the controlfile via sql.
    Now, with the DB shutdown rename all datafiles listed in the ORA000??? file to .dbf or .whatever
    (Dont forget the TEMPFILE entries at the end.
    Edit the ORA000????.trc file to reflect the new datafile names.
    Delete everything before 'STARTUP' in that script.
    Save in a directory as cr_NEWDB.sql
    start service (if NT)
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba
    @cr_NEWDB.sql
    If everything went well all files will be renamed.
    This is also heavily documented in
    http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96521/dfiles.htm

  • ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE, what really needs to bu run later?

    Hi!
    If I "alter database" and move some datafiles to newly added luns, do I need to run:
    On DB side:
    1) perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack (according new luns!)
    2) If 1) is yes, then probably have to run "perl adcfgclone.pl dbconfig $CONTEXT_FILE"?
    On APPS side:
    1) Autoconfig?
    Second question. If on on new LUN is only having archived log files (no db datafiles are on that lun), should they be involved in Number of DATA_TOP's on the target system?
    THX

    If I "alter database" and move some datafiles to newly added luns, do I need to run:

    Could you please elaborate more? Why would you need to run perl adcfgclone.pl if you alter the database and add more datafiles?
    Second question. If on on new LUN is only having archived log files (no db datafiles are on that lun), should they be involved in Number of DATA_TOP's on the target system?When cloning, it is not required to copy the archivelog files. DATA_TOPs should point to the mount points where datafiles are located.

    Hi,
    we have got actual a serious problem in our database. Some days ago we created a new datafile for a tablespace in the wrong directory:
    ALTER TABLESPACE "ANZSIIDX" ADD DATAFILE '/oralunadata/anzora8/ANZSIIDX08.dbf' SIZE 500M
    We recognized our mistake and generated the datafile with the same name in teh right directory:
    ALTER TABLESPACE "ANZSIIDX" ADD DATAFILE '/oralunaindex/anzora8/ANZSIIDX08.dbf' SIZE 500M
    We set the "wrong" datafile offline in order to rename and replace this in file in the right directory:
    alter database datafile '/oralunadata/anzora8/ANZSIIDX08.dbf' offline;
    ALTER TABLESPACE 'ANZSIIDX'
    RENAME DATAFILE '/oralunadata/anzora8/ANZSIIDX08.dbf',
    TO '/oralunaindex/anzora8/ANZSIIDX09.dbf';
    After this we wanted to bring the datafile online again with a recovery but
    this fails with teh strange error-message:
    SQL> recover datafile 109;
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
    ORA-06512: at line 20
    ORA-00279: change 10322956311023 generated at 04/10/2013 18:51:23 needed for

    ORA-00280: change 10322956311023 for thread 1 is in sequence #315326
    A similar thing happens with our RMAN backup from last weekend, which failed:
    channel c4: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:32:33
    input datafile fno=00109 name=/oralunadata/anzora8/ANZSIIDX08.dbf

    channel c4: specifying datafile(s) in backupset

    continuing other job steps, job failed will not be re-run
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [krbbfmx_notfound], [109], [12801], [], [], [], [], []
    ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    Has anybody an idea, how can we bring back the datafile online in order to run succesfull an RMAN backup?
    Actually we see just the workaraound to move the objects from the affected tablespace to new tablespace
    and the drop the empty tablespace what would be quite time consuming and not really practicable for us.
    kind regards,
    Marco

    I guess it is a bug of oracle which will sometimes occur when you give two datafiles the same name in different directories that this poduces errors as above in the RMAN inerface(packages)!?
    Maybe we could force to set he tablespace offline, rename the new added datafiles and ry to bring the tablespace online but nobody knows if it works really and we get the tablespace online again?
    Therefore at the moment maybe it's the best way to move the objects away from this tablespace and than drop them, isn't it?

  • Relocating datafiles on standby database after mount point on stanby is ful

    Hi,
    We have a physical standby database.
    The location of datafiles on primary database are at /oracle/oradata/ and the location of datafiles on standby database are at /oracle/oradata/
    Now we are facing a situation of mount mount getting full on standby database so we need to move some tablespaces to another location on standby.
    Say old location is /oracle/oradata/ and new location is /oradata_new/ and the tablespaces to be relocated are say tab1 and tab2.
    Can anybody tell me whether following steps are correct.
    1. Stop managed recovery on standby database
    alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
    2. Shutdown standby database
    shutdown immediate;
    3. Open standby database in mount stage
    startup mount;
    4. Copy the datafiles to new location say /oradata_new/ using os level command
    4. Rename the datafile
    alter database rename file
    '/oracle/oradata/tab1.123451.dbf', '/oracle/oradata/tab1.123452.dbf','/oracle/oradata/tab2.123451.dbf',''/oracle/oradata/tab2.123452.dbf'
    to '/oradata_new/tab1.123451.dbf', '/oradata_new/tab1.123452.dbf','/oradata_new/tab2.123451.dbf',''/oradata_new/tab2.123452.dbf';
    5. Edit the parameter db_file_name_convert
    alter system set db_file_name_convert='/oracle/oradata/tab1','/oradata_new/tab1','/oracle/oradata/tab2','/oradata_new/tab2'
    6. Start a managed recovery on standby database
    alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
    I am littelbit confused in step 5 as we want to relocate only two tablespaces and not all tablespaces so we have used.
    Can we use db_file_name_convert like this i.e. does this work for only two tablespaces tab1 and tab2.
    Thanks & Regards

    8.3.4 Renaming a Datafile in the Primary Database
    When you rename one or more datafiles in the primary database, the change is not propagated to the standby database. Therefore, if you want to rename the same datafiles on the standby database, you must manually make the equivalent modifications on the standby database because the modifications are not performed automatically, even if the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.
    The following steps describe how to rename a datafile in the primary database and manually propagate the changes to the standby database.
    To rename the datafile in the primary database, take the tablespace offline:
    SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 OFFLINE;
    Exit from the SQL prompt and issue an operating system command, such as the following UNIX mv command, to rename the datafile on the primary system:
    % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf
    /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
    Rename the datafile in the primary database and bring the tablespace back online:
    SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 RENAME DATAFILE 2> '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
    3> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
    SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 ONLINE;
    Connect to the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify all of the archived redo log files are applied, and then stop Redo Apply:
    SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
    SEQUENCE# APP
    8 YES
    9 YES
    10 YES
    11 YES
    4 rows selected.
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
    Shut down the standby database:
    SQL> SHUTDOWN;
    Rename the datafile at the standby site using an operating system command, such as the UNIX mv command:
    % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
    Start and mount the standby database:
    SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
    Rename the datafile in the standby control file. Note that the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter must be set to MANUAL.
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
    2> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
    On the standby database, restart Redo Apply:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
    2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
    If you do not rename the corresponding datafile at the standby system, and then try to refresh the standby database control file, the standby database will attempt to use the renamed datafile, but it will not find it. Consequently, you will see error messages similar to the following in the alert log:
    ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
    ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock datafile 4 - see DBWR trace file
    ORA-01110: datafile 4: '/Disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf'

  • After renaming data file it failes during database open

    Hi,
    I took RMAN full back.
    Then i renamed datafile then restored and recovered. It goes fine.
    But during the daabase open it fails with
    ORA-01113: file 6 needs media recovery
    ORA-01110: data file 6: '+OBTDG1/qa112asm/datafile/users02.dbf'
    Any specific reason for that?

  • How to online datafile of rollback segment of NO archive log available

    I set offline datafile of rool back segement and rename it
    but when I try to online , get error to recover
    I try to recover but unfortunately all archive log was deleted ( kind of cron job in unix aotu delete these file)

    Hi all,
    DB version is 10.2.0.2 and Applications 12.0.6 on RHEL 4
    While creating data file mistakenly we created with '?' as follows:

  • Oracle datafile moving soft links

    hi,
    i need to move my datafile from one location to other location. actually in database the data files are confiured with softlinks..
    so how can i move my data file (physicl location )from one location to other physical location,
    i thinking
    1. put the tablespace offline .
    2. move the datafile from one location to other.
    my doublt is how i alter the link location to point to new location.
    should i create new link to point this new location and
    3.alter tablespace rename datafile <old link> to <new link >
    put the tablespace online .
    is any method i can alter the link to point to new location so that i can avoid step 3.
    thanks
    aditya

    You need to do 1, 2 but not 3.
    Instead you need to drop the old link and create a new link to point to the new location of the datafile.
    The name is unchanged as far as the DB is concerned, but you need to make sure the tablespace is offline while making the change.

    8.3.4 Renaming a Datafile in the Primary Database
    When you rename one or more datafiles in the primary database, the change is not propagated to the standby database. Therefore, if you want to rename the same datafiles on the standby database, you must manually make the equivalent modifications on the standby database because the modifications are not performed automatically, even if the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.
    The following steps describe how to rename a datafile in the primary database and manually propagate the changes to the standby database.
       1.
          To rename the datafile in the primary database, take the tablespace offline:
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 OFFLINE;
       2.
          Exit from the SQL prompt and issue an operating system command, such as the following UNIX mv command, to rename the datafile on the primary system:
          % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf
          /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
       3.
          Rename the datafile in the primary database and bring the tablespace back online:
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 RENAME DATAFILE      2> '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
            3>  TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 ONLINE;
       4.
          Connect to the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify all of the archived redo log files are applied, and then stop Redo Apply:
          SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
          SEQUENCE# APP
          8 YES
          9 YES
          10 YES
          11 YES
          4 rows selected.
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
       5.
          Shut down the standby database:
          SQL> SHUTDOWN;
       6.
          Rename the datafile at the standby site using an operating system command, such as the UNIX mv command:
          % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
       7.
          Start and mount the standby database:
          SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
       8.
          Rename the datafile in the standby control file. Note that the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter must be set to MANUAL.
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
            2> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
       9.
          On the standby database, restart Redo Apply:
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
            2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
    If you do not rename the corresponding datafile at the standby system, and then try to refresh the standby database control file, the standby database will attempt to use the renamed datafile, but it will not find it. Consequently, you will see error messages similar to the following in the alert log:
    ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
    ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock datafile 4 - see DBWR trace file
    ORA-01110: datafile 4: '/Disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf'Hope That Helps.
