ORA-03297 : file contains used data beyond requested RESIZE value

Hi there ,

I am using Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production in Linux platform. My SYSAUX tablespace has around 9GB space but usage only  500MB. I was trying to resize its size but failed with following errors:

SQL> alter database datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/sysaux01.dbf' resize 8g;

alter database datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/sysaux01.dbf' resize 8g

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-03297: file contains used data beyond requested RESIZE value

Is it possible to downsize SYSAUX tablespace? If yes, what is procedure to downsize it?

Regards,

Jewel
