    ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 14 with name "_SYSSMU14$"

    Dear Friends,

    I am facing the following error:

    "ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 14 with name "_SYSSMU14$" too small"

    Here are the system and other necessary details...

    Database: Oracle 10204 64-Bit
    OS: SUSE LINUX SLES 10 64-bit X86

    SQL> show parameters undo

    NAME TYPE VALUE
    ------------------------------------ -----------
    undo_management string AUTO
    undo_retention integer 4200
    undo_tablespace string UNDOTBSP


    The size of the UNDO Tablespace: 40GB (10GB files a total of 4)

    TableSpace Size (kb) Free (kb) Used % Free %
    --------------- ------------ ------------ ------ ------------
    UNDOTBSP 40,960,000 39,056,192 5 95

    Max. Bytes/Minutes Avg. Bytes/Minutes Max Space (Mb) Avg Space (Mb)
    ------------------ ------------------ -------------- --------------
    31,291,802 8,035,427 2,089 536


    I still dont understand that, even though we have allocated such a huge space to UNDO tablespace, and it is not even using it 100%..why is the system is throwing the error...

    Thank you,
    Nikee

    May be try seeing the v$undostats performance view, this gives the undo generated in 10min window interval. So that this give you more detailed info.

    Dave is correct - as he is most of the time.

    Check alert log, Oracle wrote down for how long query ran before abend... bet you find query ran for more than 4200 seconds.
