hi,

Please advise as to what you think may be the problem here. The exports have failed many times showing this error.

EXP-00008: ORACLE error 1555 encountered

ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 4 with name "RBS3" too small

EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

thanks,
karthik

Seems the other sessions are updating the database during your export.
So use CONSISTENT=N ( which is default).
Dont specify CONSISTENT=Y.
Else
Increase your RBS(in 8i) and look into undo Management in 9i.
There is a long running transaction that needs more undo space than the available one.

mahesh,

here there are about 8 datafiles in the RBS tablespace and about
6 rollback segment online.

here there is no any parameter related to undo when i prompted "show parameter undo".

so what to do to resolve..?

oracle-->9i
os-->linux

are you using Rollback segments intead of Undo tablespace in 9i!!?
Confirm this first.

Your UNDO RETENTION or RBS is too small.
Increase it!.

Switch to Undo Tablespaces and increase the undo_retention

scott@9i > show parameter undo

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
undo_management                      string      AUTO
undo_retention                       integer     0
undo_suppress_errors                 boolean     FALSE
undo_tablespace                      string      UNDOTBS1

If the UNDO_RETENTION initialization parameter is not specified, the default value is 900 seconds.( I must have tweaked mine. Ingore it).

to reset this would be the command.
ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_RETENTION = 30000;

quoting docs

Committed undo information normally is lost when its undo space is overwritten by a newer transaction. But for consistent read purposes, long running queries might require old undo information for undoing changes and producing older images of data blocks. The initialization parameter, UNDO_RETENTION, provides a means of explicitly specifying the amount of undo information to retain. With a proper setting, long running queries can complete without risk of receiving the "snapshot too old" error.

answer is the same.
Increase your rollback segments or increase the size of those rollback segments.
