Re: Recovery problem using BMC Backtrack and tempfile

We've run into this with Backtrack 3.3, which is also supposed to support 8.1.7.x. If I recall correctly, the temp tablespace is there, but offline. We usually have the create scripts for the database in question, so we just drop the tablespace and recreate it. We usually create it as locally managed permanent, then alter it offline and drop it, then recreate it as temporary and reuse the fully allocated files to get around the annoying tempfile issue of 'not really' allocating the space.

Hi,

Oracle 8.1.7.2 and BMC Backtrack 3.4.1
The database uses tempfile for the temporary tablespace.

All backups are done with Backtrack.
I've been asked to copy a db from a server to another one. So I used dtorestore to restore all datafiles to the new server. Backtrack doesn't know about the tempfile, it is not in the dbprofile. I rebuilt the controfile and put in comment the part ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE ...
Once the db opened, I've seen that the temp tablespace was there but not attached to any file...

Anybody using Backtrack have seen that ? Version 341 is supposed to handle Oracle 817 .

I'm opening a tar at BMC .....
