Re: Is it possible to rename/move datafile online - possibly under RMAN?

hi:

There is no online way to move datafiles.

But you can use RMAN "copy file" to minimize the downtime.

1. use RMAN to copy datafiles
2. take datafiles offline
3. rename to new path
4. RECOVER DATAFILE
5. bring the datafile online.
