There is no need to drop the datafiles, just recreate the segments in the current tablespace.

Pick a slow time to do this as you will significantly increase the likelihood of 1555s.

  1. Offline rbs1
  2. Drop rbs1
  3. create rbs1
  4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 for all rbs2..rbsN.
  5. When complete, resize datafiles appropriately. Don't go to small or you run the risk of transactions failing due to "unable to extend" errors.
