SAP Note 185822 - ora-1555 - cause and action

Component : Oracle -

Summary :
This SAP note addresses the ORA-01555 "snapshot too old" error that arises in settings using either traditional rollback segments or Oracle's Automatic Undo Management (AUM). The note outlines three main causes of this error: 1) delayed block cleanout, 2) insufficient size of rollback segments or undo tablespaces, and 3) overwritten rollback information required by running SELECT statements. Remedies include adjusting database parameters to minimize uncommitted block cleanouts, right-sizing rollback and undo segment parameters, and ensuring frequent enough commitments during large transactions. Using AUM is strongly recommended to decrease the likelihood of ORA-01555 errors.
