Re: ORA-1554: Out of transaction slots

Anjo,

To simulate the ORA-1554, I tried the following, which I think, is along the same lines you mention :

1. Created a database with block size 2K.
2. Created one rollback segment in the tablespace RBS.
3. Started 21 session all updating different tables, and not commiting.
4. v$rollstat at this point showed me xacts = 21 and status = ONLINE
5. Started the 22 session and tried an update statement.
6. Oracle reported the "Unable to use system rollback segment for non
system ..." error.

The reason I am trying to simulate this error, is that the application logs reported the error:
ORA-1595: error freeing extent (3) of rollback segment (2). #### Yes, optsize is set.
ORA-1554: Out of transaction slots in transaction tables.

I am trying to investigate why? Metalink could not give me a definite answer, and soft closed the tar.

Thanks
Raj

Rajesh,

Your database has probably only the system rollback segment. Oracle will probably leave a slot open so in that rollback segment. Create an additional rollback segment and you will probably see the error.
