Hi Guys,

Couple of month ago i faced UNDO issue at my database. Now it is always full and system ask to add some space. I have added another 32GB autoextensible file now it is 32+32+32, but in a couple days, situation repeated.
Previously i just ajusted RETENTION in order to get rid of "ORA-01555: SNAPSHOT TOO OLD"

Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

  6    FROM v$SESSION ses INNER JOIN v$TRANSACTION tra ON ses.saddr = tra.ses_addr;

no rows selected


So my questions are:
1. What may be the reason that despite I have add 32 GB for UNDO it still asking for more? For last couple of years 64GB was completely enough, now 96GB - almost everyday it asks to expand UNDO. Where i must to dig in order to get the solution?
2. How come the internal Oracle`s mechanism got 95GB of undo? I am talking about "0rc4km05kgzb9" - "select 1 from obj$ where name='DBA_QUEUE_SCHEDULES'" ? I have seen that Oracle have a doc about it, but i do not have access there.
3. Is it OK that so many SQLs consumes almost full size of UNDO?

I understand that decreasing of RETENTION may help here, but cannot figure out why i have such a problems now, after it worked well for a so long time?

Welcome to the forum.

With undo retention set to 50000 seconds, you are going to need an undo tablespace the size of Jupiter. Why so high? Do you really have queries that run for 14 hours? dba_hist_undostat will tell you that. Or if it is an open cursor, then perhaps you need to rethink your application design. For example, if you are committing within a cursor loop then setting the retention to the end of universe my not help.
