Tablespace Autoextend

[Former Member]

Hi

In our R/3 landscape, the status of some of the tablespaces is "autoextend On" and some are "autoextend off" mode. We would like to turn the autoextnd mode OFF from ON.

What is the best way to turn the autoextend mode OFF. As per my understanding, if we turn off all the datafiles of the tablespace using SQLPLUS , it will automatically change the status of the autoextend mode from ON to OFF.

Pls confirm or suggest any other method to turn tablespace autoextend mode OFF.

We have autoextend turned off on all our data files for more control of space.

You can use the Oracle command:

alter tablespace ... autoextend off

Or

Oracle Enterprise Manager

Or

Brtools /BrGui

Space Mangement - Alter Data File - Alter Data File Action - auoext

Turn off autoextend

• You should get used to using brtools/brgui

Thanks William for details. I'm able to run brtools as <sid>adm user account.I have not yet turnoff the autoextend as we are planning on weekend on our test server. I have one query to get clear:

1. I'm not ablt to execute brgui as <sid>adm or <ora>sid account. What could be the reason?

2. In past (i think last year), i turnoff the autoextend off of the all datafiles of one tablespace and it then automatically turn off tablespace autoextyend mode.

So do i have to turnoff all datafiles of tablespace first or can i turnoff autoextend mode directly to tablespace?

Thanks again for yr reply.

1) Here are the brgui SAP notes

SAP Note: 611493 BrGui - Graphical user interface for BR*Tools

SAP Notes: 769159, 611493, 71253, 602497

2) You have to do it by data file.

Hello,

It can be done by BRtools or directly by SQls.

1. Brtools : You need to alter all datafiles with autoextend On. Check this documentation..

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/f1/5e863f06593a17e10000000a114084/content.htm

2. If you are comfortable in SQLs.. then only do this way :

SQL : you need to do this for all datafiles of the tablespace one by one which are autoextendable.

alter database datafile '/oracle/P50/sapdata14/rbw_295/rbw.data295' autoextend off

3. Directly do it for tablespace :

thanks

Depending on your version of SAP and SAPDBA and database. That is the a way it can be done with Oracle 8 and onwards, but SAPDBA can also be used. See Notes, 64335, 139467, 693725
