Local Fix: | |
1) Drop and recreate the tablespace in NO FILE SYSTEM CACHING mode. (Caution - this requires all objects in the tablespace to be dropped, recreated and repopulated). 2) Retry the command. (A brute force effort may be required, and may not be successful, since the root cause is a timing issue.) | |
