How to rename a datafile in windows

hi,

I take the TBS offiline and when it try to rename the file at OS level, it says File is used by other program or user.

D:\ORA\product\oradata\orcl>rename SYSAUX03.DBF SYSAUX01.DBF
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.


Thx.

Didi u check if u have this file already existing or not?

you will need to copy the file, cant move in windows while it is still open
