Question
How to determine if an Oracle Tablespace Extension is needed?
Answer
If a tablespace extension is required, there will be recent ORA-1654 errors in the Oracle alert_VGER.log log file that will look something like the following (note that elevated access is required to view this log):
There can also be related ERROR entries in the log.voyager file that may look something like this:
catsvr[16963] - THEWORKS - Wed Sep 18 15:52:25 2013
- SQLError - search_sql__ppc.cxx[157]
Function code: 3 query="insert into bib_index (bib_id, index_code, normal_heading,display_heading) values (:recids, :idxcodes, :normheads, :dispheads)"

You may see errors in the Voyager clients that look like this:
- In Cataloging client, saving an existing record to database produces "Unable to update this record."
- In Cataloging client, saving a new record to database produces "Unable to add this record."
- In Acquisitions client, saving an existing record to database produces "Unable to update this record."
- In Acquisitions client, saving a new record to database produces "Unable to add this record."
Additional Information
In Voyager, each Voyager instance has its own Oracle schema, which logically stores its data in a single Oracle tablespace, all of which have the same name (xxxdb or XXXDB). That tablespace physically stores the data in one or more datafiles. For optimal performance (and to avoid hitting the OS's limit on file size), we cap these files at 4 GB and create new ones as they are needed. However, that creation of new files is not automatic. If you suspect you need a Tablespace extension, contact Support.
