SYSTEM Tablespace issue (10.2.0.1 database)

Question

Hi ,
Oracle database 10.2.0.1 (upgraded from 8.1.7.0 via 8.1.7.4)...successfully upgraded
Now when we open dbcontrol, we are getting alerts regarding the Tablespace.
It shows two critical alert messages as below :-
1) Tablesapace SYSTEM (dictionary managed) is 95.16 % full
2) 1 segment in SYSTEM tablespace is unable to extend.
Now how to deal with this type of issues ?
Can we extend the size of datafile of SYSTEM Tablespace which is dictionary managed ? or can we add another new datafile to system tablespace ? what is appropriate solution ?SYSTEM Tablespace
How to solve the point no. (2) as the TS is dictionary managed ?
With Regards

Answer 1

hi ,
Plz add the datafile to the system tablespace tp increase its size , and the conver the system tablespace from dictionary managed to local.
To Change SYSTEM tablespaces to locally managed follow the below procedures:
Before the SYSTEM tablespace can be migrated to locally managed format, you should ensure the following:
The database has a default temporary tablespace which is not SYSTEM
There are not any rollback segments in dictionary managed tablespaces
There is at least one online rollback segment in a locally managed tablespace, or an undo tablespace (if using automatic undo management mode) should be online.
All tablespaces other than the tablespace containing the undo space (undo tablespace or the tablespace containing the rollback segment) and the default temporary tablespace are in read-only mode.
There is a complete backup of the system.
The system is in restricted mode.
Notr, that we already have an UNDO Tablespace. The following query determines whether the SYSTEM tablespace is locally managed:
SQL> SELECT ts# FROM ts$ WHERE ts# = 0 AND bitmapped <> 0;
If 0 rows are returned, then the SYSTEM tablespace is dictionary managed. Otherwise, the SYSTEM tablespace is locally managed.
Steps to change SYSTEM tablespaces to locally managed

SQL> startup restrict
SQL> execute DBMS_SPACE_ADMIN.TABLESPACE_MIGRATE_TO_LOCAL ('SYSTEM');
