While in mount mode, move the OS file to the newly name file.  And then
the rename command will work.  The message is correct. Until renamed at
OS level, the file does not exist.

Are you sure that there are no hidden characters in that filename.

you may want to run the following query:
select ':'||file_name||':' from dba_data_files where
tablespace_name='TOOLS';

Thanks,

    Hi,



    We have a file in a database with two slashes in its
    name:
    "/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf". I dont know how
    that file was created,
    but I inherited that database. The tablespace is full
    now. I would like to
    resize the file to a bigger size, but resize command
    fails with



    "ORA-01516: nonexistent log file, datafile, or
    tempfile"



    I can add a new file, but I prefer straightening out
    the name of this
    file. Does anyone know how to rename this file
    properly with just one "/".



    Oracle: 10.2 on Solaris 8



    Ram.
