    Julian,
    Allow me to disagree here. The bigger the UNDO_RETENTION lesser the chances of getting OOA-1555 provided your UNDO_TABLESPACE is big enough to support that retention period. If the undo tablespace size is not enough to support the retention period then the trnasactions will be overwritten.
    Reducing UNDO_RETENTION will not help getting rid of ORA-1555

    A couple of Notes I found on metalink regarding this are here.

    This is how I understood it as well.
