    Snapshot Too Old Error detected

    My Oracle Version:11.2.0.1.0 64bit on windows 8 -64bit.This is not a high transaction database.my UNDOTB size is 4GB and retention is 15m.
    When I am exporting full database using typical exp, I get the following error.
    Snapshot Too Old Error detected: SQL ID 18rf6d6zdsny8, Snapshot SCN 0x0000.b3652a9d, Recent SCN 0x0000.b368a1cf, Undo Tablespace UNDOTBS1, Current Undo Retention 1111. I checked the SQL#18rf6d6zdsny8 is as follows.

    SELECT OBJID, DOBJID, OWNER, OWNERID, NAME, TBLSPACE, SIZE$, TSNO, FILENO, BLOCKNO, PCTFREE$, PCTUSED$, INITRANS, MAXTRANS, HASHKEYS, FUNCTION, AVGCHN, DEGREE, INSTANCES, CACHE, FUNCTXT, FUNCLEN, SINGLE_TABLE, TFLAGS
    FROM SYS.EXU8CLU
    WHERE OWNERID != 0 ORDER BY OWNERID
    --------------
    When I checked,there was a blocking session from exp util.I killed that session. Shutdown immediate was not working. Then I tried shutdown abort. and restart the database.After that the exp utility was working fine.Masters, Could you please help me?

    How long takes your export? Make undo_retention larger so to accomodate export elapsed time; you may have to extend UNDOTB tablespace accordingly.

    Three questions...
    Was a session blocking Export or was Export blocking another session?
    Why shutdown the database?
    Why using exp on Ora10g?

    Is DIRECT=Y and option?

    As Pablo pointed out, why not use datapump, it is quite a bit faster, especially on the export side.
    I remember when this place was cool.

    While it's not often when I agree with X-Mas poo...

    Use data pump, it has better options and it is faster. being able to create a compressed export file is reason enough, but there is a lot more than that.
