Specifying the Path for the New Data File with sapdba

[Former Member]

Hi Guru,

I am using oracle 8i, SAP 4.0b, OS sun solairs 7.5.

I want to increase tablespace through sapdba but default path file comes in sapdata3 and i want to in sapdata1. Because i have space in sapdata1. How can change datafile path. Please explain with step by step.

I am given default path show in sapdba

____________________________________________________________________________

Alter tablespace PSAPBTABI add data file

____________________________________________________________________________

a - Show existing data files: 30 old files

b - New name: '/oracle/BDP/sapdata3/btabi_31/btabi.data31'

c - New size: 2088960 K

File system: '/dev/dsk/c68t3d0s3'

Free space: 18933503 K

d - Define more than one new data file

f - Select new path from a list of file systems

r - Select new path from a list of raw devices

s - Start

q - Return

Please select =>f

If i select f (select new path form a slist of file system) then i got a warring message which is given below:-

______________________________________________________________________________

Available disk space (new file size 2088960 K for PSAPBTABI)

______________________________________________________________________________

Select a number or q(uit) ==> 0

Filesystem: '/dev/dsk/c68t3d0s0'

Filesystem block size: 8192

Filesystem fragment size: 1024

ORACLE block size: 8192

SAPDBA: For performance reasons, these three sizes should be equal.

Continue or choose another file system!

Do you want to continue? (y/n) [y] ==>

If i select y then what is the harm and if i slect n then how can increase tablespace in sapdata1.

Please its very urgent.

Thanks in advance.

select b - New name...sapdba will ask for another sapdata path...

you know, that all your products you're using are way out of support? ora 8i support ended 4.5 years ago....

Hi Andreas Herzog,
