    9i export issue with RBS

    I am a little confused. I have recently upgraded to 9i(9201) from 8i. The value that I assigned to UNDO_MANAGEMENT=AUTO. When researching 9i db I expected that the UNDOTBS1 tablespace replaces RBS's functional purpose.
    When I attempt to run an export job that I initially built for 8i the
    export starts normal. by the time I get to exporting the 6th table, I receive errors. Output is below, with my question following the output:
    About to export the entire database ...

    . . exporting table DEF$_DESTINATION
    EXP-00008: ORACLE error 1555 encountered

    My question is... Why am I receiving rollback errors if I have the UNDO_MANAGEMENT=AUTO? I thought the RBS was irrelevent in this situation. What am I missing? My export command follows:
    exp userid=/ buffer=1024000 file=${fileName} log=${logName} full=Y consistent=Y

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    db size ?
    undo_retention value..?

    Instead of managing rollback, you are telling Oracle to do it with UNDO_MANAGEMENT=AUTO. You should try increasing the size of you undo tablespace.

    Did you look at the alert log?

    If you use CONSISTENT=y and the volume of updates is large, the rollback segment usage will be large. In addition, the export of each table will be slower because the rollback segment must be scanned for uncommitted transactions.

    Keep in mind the following points about using CONSISTENT=y:

    CONSISTENT=y is unsupported for exports that are performed when you are connected as user SYS or you are using AS SYSDBA, or both.
    Export of certain metadata may require the use of the SYS schema within recursive SQL. In such situations, the use of CONSISTENT=y will be ignored. Oracle Corporation recommends that you avoid making metadata changes during an export process in which CONSISTENT=y is selected.
    To minimize the time and space required for such exports, you should export tables that need to remain consistent separately from those that do not.

    For example, export the emp and dept tables together in a consistent export, and then export the remainder of the database in a second pass.

    A "snapshot too old" error occurs when rollback space is used up, and space taken up by committed transactions is reused for new transactions. Reusing space in the rollback segment allows database integrity to be preserved with minimum space requirements, but it imposes a limit on the amount of time that a read-consistent image can be preserved.

    If a committed transaction has been overwritten and the information is needed for a read-consistent view of the database, a "snapshot too old" error results.

    To avoid this error, you should minimize the time taken by a read-consistent export. (Do this by restricting the number of objects exported and, if possible, by reducing the database transaction rate.) Also, make the rollback segment as large as possible.



    Yet another reason to SHOOT THE DEVELOPERS!!, how dare they do any work while you are exporting.

    Since you can not specify a RBS to use for an export, perhaps asigning one to the users is possible. Otherwise loose the consistent=y.

    Ps, Shoot the damn devlopers just as a precaution!!

    What is the value you set for undo_retention ?

    Just curious - but why do you care about undo_retention here? That's essentilly just a "suggestion". It won't cause the undo to blow.

    From what I understand: 9i
    Rbs sizing:
    -Determine the length of the longest running transaction & qry !
    -Ensure you have sufficient rolllback permanently (not that it can GROW but rather that it is permanently allocated) so that you do not wrap in the perdiod of time that is larger then the above two numbers.
    -In 9i, this is simplified as you may use an UNDO tablespace instead of rollback segments. Here you configure a retention period (how long do you want to keep undo) and it sizes itself.
    -So size UNDO based on stats. in V$UNDOSTATS & set an adequate retention period !! - Most of our 1555's went away with this approach !!

    If you constrain the undo with a small max size it will blow - no matter what. undo_retention will do nothing for you. It is only a "suggestion". It is not hard n fast. If the trasaction needs additional space in your undo (used by an older txn), it will use it, even though your undo_retention was set to a high value. And then will get constrained by the max size eventually.

    Agreed - but the poser here seems to have a specific prob. i.e during a consistent=y exp.
    Which is why I enquired about undo_retention - the key to solving the problem is sizing the UNDO. Redo can be generated in so many ways but generally solving 1555's on 9i-> is increasing RBS/undo_retention but your link should help him solve this - not a big deal !!
