Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain The ORA-1555 is a read consistency error. The information from the rollback segments needed to create a read-consistent view of the data is not available. Usually because the information has been overwritten or the extents containing this information have been deallocated (e.g. if optimal is set). Until 9i, where you can use automatic undo to avoid these errors, the best way is to create dummy transcations in each of the online RBS's before starting the export and leave them uncomitted until the export completes. This will prevent the rollback segments from wrapping around and overwriting the extents that contained uncomitted transactions when the export began. Of course this means you're likely to generate a lot more rollback than usual so you'll need to monitor the space in the RBS tablespaces to avoid getting extent allocation errors.
