Hi all,
I don't know how this all happened, but I just noticed something strange, the file_name says it is missing, the database is currently up and running, how do I safely recover this file? I am scared to shutdown fearing that it may not come back up.

Thanks in advance,
krblr

Thanks dreamz, I may have done something similar, the problem is resolved, here is what I did

1) Went to the OS level, did a "find / -name "*sysaux*", I saw a file sitting there salled sysaux_something.
2) Then I did an
alter tablespace sysaux rename datafile
'..../missing_data_file_name'
to '.../the_file_I_found...';
3) Then I tried to online sysaux, it refused to do so, because it said it needed recovery
4) Then I did, alter database recover datafile 4;'
5) Then it applied about 2 archive logs to it, and was happy
6) The I did an, 'alter tablespace sysaux online'
No complaints, it all worked out

Thanks for your help.

I have almost the same situation, but I'm not in archivelog mode.

OS: Win XP, 32bit
Oracle Version: 10g R2

Status of production database: Database is running, server was restarted yesterday and database still boots up, oracle enterprise manager not working. SYSAUX is "missing".

Status of test database: Files fail to work as cold backups due to SYSAUX "missing". Must perform resetlogs option because there's a conflict in sysaux names within header(can't rename database without resetlogs option). Cannot recreate control files without recovery. Recovery doesn't seem to work. Keeps asking for log files 1,2,3 when I only have online redo logs 4,5,6.

The "missing" file is SYSAUX.
