well, that is difficult, I fear... did you, by any change, try to run 2 instances on the same database files?
Hi erastus,
The odd thing is hours before you had a working database and something happened in between then and now and you have a datafile needing recovery. So the most important step to take next is to identify exactly what happened.
So please post the results of each of the questions below.
1) Is this database in archivelog mode?
SQL> select log_mode from v$database;
2) How many databases are on this system? If just one, then the first thing I advise you to do is shutdown abort your database and then startup mount mode.
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> shutdown abort;
SQL> startup mount;
3) What are the path / filenames of your databases?
SQL> select name, status from v$datafile;
4) Do those pathnames accurately reflect what is actually in the directories? If you are not sure paste them here. You need to verify that all datafiles are where you expect them to be. Make sure all the pathnames reflect what is actually in the directory.
5) IMPORTANT: Please upload your alert.log. The alert log will be located here:
SQL> show parameter background_dump_dest
Please upload and we can try to diagnose the history of what happened between you trying to add a new datafile or autoextend and your current state.
wow !!!!
you guys are super MANY thanks all files shows online
what happened is I increased the file size I epect there was a glitch some where.
as an error accoured.
i then shut the databse doen and coppied the current file to a backup and oppend the file

In order to help you I really need you to read and answer my questions in detail. You only answered 1 out of the 5 questions I originally posted. If you are seriously interested in recovering this database, please reread in detail and provide all information requested or I will not be able to help.
Firstly, I feel somehow you renamed or copied over this file:
/blertz/zone03/odlf/reuse_
Was this file involved in the step you described above? Please confirm the file exists and wasn't renamed or otherwise tampered.
You said: "i then shut the databse doen and coppied the current file to a backup and oppend the file"
Which file? What did you copy where and how did you open it?
no :

After reviewing your alert log, my opinion is something was seriously wrong with your disk / OS a few days ago. You were getting ORA errors during hot backup mode which is not a good thing either.
1) You had a lot of archive logging errors earlier on, which are usually caused by a full disk, but the errors don't look like a disk full error, it looks like possibly an actual disk or filesystem error and could mean checksum errors in your alert logs.
2) Your other errors regarding ora-1122 could happen 2 ways that I know of.
a) You copied a datafile from another instance
b) The file is simply corrupt (dbverify will be able to tell)
3) ora-1237 errors indicate an OS error at the time of the operation (disk full, quota, etc.)
For all of these please review trace file /blertz/delta01/bgdmp/dbw0
Do you have Oracle support? If not, time to call a consultant.
It is my opinion that either you have disk errors and/or should run a filesystem check at the OS level, or you did some manual file copying that should not have been done and now the instance is in some odd state of flux.
I see in your alert log that a hot backup is taking place daily, that is a good thing, but what worries me is perhaps you were not multiplexing your archive logs and you also have errors in those as well. Cross your fingers.
My advice?
QUICKLY call Oracle or call an Oracle consultant that knows backup and recovery, and let them rescue this system. I would advise a recovery, but only after a full cold backup and a check of your archive logs. An expert can access your system and diagnose just what needs to be done, sometimes a full recovery is not needed, but in this case I think at least a datafile restore will be needed from the last full hot backup. Depending on if you added a datafile since the last backup, you may need to recover from a backup controlfile and roll forward with your archive logs. This is out of scope of this forum, so get an Oracle expert to do this for you.

are the files in that tablespace configured to "auto-extend"?
you might try to add a new datafile to that filegroup
