From: DG problem on
In summary, I completed an import which took five days into a test
database. The import completed successfully. I then swapped UNDOTBS1
to UNDO_TEMP tablesapce so that it would be much smaller. However,
UNDOTBS1 then reported that it needed recovery :( I tried to drop
UNDOTBS1 but a segment remained online and I was unable to drop it.
There is no backup and the DB is in noarchivelog mode.

I'll probably just restart the import process again, but I was
wondering if there is any way to drop UNDOTBS1?

Hopefully there are enough details below for any one with some spare
time to comment on?

The drop datafile and tablespace appear at the very end.

I also did a full export (ROWS=N) and it completed successfully.

Running on HP-UX

Yes, there is. In the error message (ORA-01548) there is also the name of
the rollback segment. The message looks like this:

SQL> drop tablespace undotbs1 including contents and datafiles;
drop tablespace undotbs1 including contents and datafiles
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01548: active rollback segment '_SYSSMU11$' found, terminate dropping
tablespace

Here is the solution:

startup mount;

alter system set undo_management = 'MANUAL' scope=spfile;

alter system set "_corrupted_rollback_segments"="_SYSSMU11$" scope=spfile;

startup;

drop rollback segment "_SYSSMU11$";

shutdown;

startup nomount
alter database open

That was extracted from the ML note 28814.1. Of course, you should return
to the automatic undo afterwards.

The original poster sent me an email because Google groups are apparently
not cooperating, so he asked me to publish this note for him.
Basically, the recipe has worked but the ML search is less than useful.
Here is his note:

"Thanks Mladen! That worked perfectly, very much appreciated.

Congratulations on finding that in Metalink as I spent a couple of hours
looking at how to do it and still couldn't solve it (maybe I'm getting
too old :). I then went and looked at the note you reference and still
couldn't find anything to do with "_corrupted_rollback_segments".

I then did a ML knowledge base search (using the flash version, grumble
grumble) on "_corrupted_rollback_segments" and it only returned six hits.
Only two of those six hits contained the string
"_corrupted_rollback_segments"!

I then did an advanced search (unquoted)
The Exact Phrase: _corrupted_rollback_segments

And got six hits again with only two hits containing the search string!

Has anyone else noticed this?"

PS:
---
I didn't find that in Metalink, I had the same problem and have opened a
SR to fix it. That's how I learned to solve that kind of problems.

For some strange reason, they reject the free hostia. I had to add a
space just to post this.

I've been trying to post this all day (Google Groups) without success.
Thanks Joel if this posts upon your advice.
