Can somebody help me and tell me what do i need to do for getting this data file online, i know i need to use Recovery manager but can someone take me thru the steps to do the same

Hoping that somebody will reply .

you can change you users to use another tablespace for there temporary segments.
This does not resolve you problem, but your users can work again.

alter user <ausername> temporary tablespace <anotherTS>;

temporary tablespace shouldnt be tricky, create another temporary tablespace and alter all users to use that new temporary tablespace, then you can drop the faulty temporary tablespace
