CAUSE

For small datafile tablespace, the maximum datafile size is 32GB ( 32768M ) in theory. But in actual situation, the given size should be little less than 32GB.

SOLUTION

Explicitly specify the maximum datafile size to 31GB ( 31744 M ), for example, instead of the default 32GB ( 32768M ) in corrective action parameters configuration.

Before

Maximum Datafile Size (GB)

After

Maximum Datafile Size (GB)31
