Problem with PROCOPY : Extent too large

[Stefaan Decuype]

Hello,

I have a problem with copying my production-database with the PROCOPY utility.

The fifth extent grew as big as 2097152 KB. The database crashed and we added a sixth extent. Everything is working fine with the production-database.

The problem now is that PROCOPY cannot handle an extent larger then 2000000 KB. So I cannot copy the production-database.

Is there a way that i can reduce the size of the fifth extent to 2000000 KB and to put the rest into another extent ?

Thank You for helping Me.

Try doing a probkup, create a new database with the required layout (prostrct create) and a prorest.

Use Robocopy XP010
(Robocopy version XP010 requires Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, Microsoft® Windows® XP, Microsoft® Windows® 2000, or Microsoft® Windows NT® version 4.0)

New: ...
Previous versions of Robocopy used 32-bit counters which would overflow when more than 2 gigabytes of data was processed, resulting in incorrect output in the run summary. This version now uses 64-bit counters to avoid this problem.

Regards,
Leo

You can also do the dump&Load from Production Db in to a newly created MV DB with more extents, i suggest you go to 9 extents based on the daily growth of ur DB.

Ur newly created MV will based on new .st file with >= 6 extents.
