Jeff,

        There are three main reasons why a data file will not autoextend:

        1) Maxbytes < bytes.  If you use the OEM GUI do remember that it defaults to 
KB.  That dog has bitten me more than once.

        2) The file system is >= 100% full.  You can't autoextend nto something that 
the OS won't give you.

        3) The increment_by would cause the datafile to autoextend beyond maxbytes.  
Pass the salve if you please!!  I just got bit again.

This morning I started getting "ORA-1654: unable to extend index
CIMXDBIN.CIMX_SESSION_STATE_PK by 128 in tablespace           CAPP_IDX " in
my alert log (8.1.7 on Windows 2000).  I checked my tablespace is has one
datafile with autoextend enabled.  

FILE_NAME                                             FILE_ID
TABLESPACE_NAME                     BYTES     BLOCKS STATUS    RELATIVE_FNO
AUT   MAXBYTES  MAXBLOCKS INCREMENT_BY USER_BYTES USER_BLOCKS
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
------------------------------ ---------- ---------- --------- ------------
--- ---------- ---------- ------------ ---------- -----------
E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\CIMX\CAPP_IDX.ORA                         4 CAPP_IDX
314572800      38400 AVAILABLE            4 YES    1949696        238
3200  314564608       38399


To resolve the error I manually resized the datafile to 300M.  Any ideas on
why the autoextend didn't work?


Thanks,
Jeff
