    Make sure that none of your RBS uses this file. Then try, it should work.

    1. alter tablespace rbs offline
    2. cp .ora rbs02.ora
    3. alter database rename file '/u01/.ora' to '/u01/rbs02.ora'
    4. alter tablespace rbs online

    Please note, you should do this when nobody else is logged in.

    This should work, just try to make sure there is little to no activity.

    alter tablespace rbs offline normal
    host copy /path/rbs02.ora /path/rbs02.dbf
    alter database rename file '/path/rbs02.ora' to '/path/rbs02.dbf'
    alter tablespace rbs online

    These are the steps you need to follow :

    1) Take your tablespace offline or shutdown the database and then MOUNT it, but do not open it yet

    2) rename your file from the operating system level

    3) issue the 'alter database' SQL stmt to rename the file

    4) put your tablespace back online (or open the database,
    depending on what you did in step 1.

    I think that's pretty much a concensus about what what you need to do!

    Did you try to 'offline normal' or 'offline immediate' ? You should use 'offline normal'
