Hi from Paris

the so-called "senior" DBA are not very helpful on theses days...

Here is a good note from Metatlink

and RTFM !!

            Note:135090.1
            Subject:  Managing Rollback/Undo Segments in AUM (Automatic Undo
Management)
            Type:  BULLETIN
            Status:  PUBLISHED
     Content Type:  TEXT/PLAIN
            Creation Date:  07-FEB-2001
            Last Revision Date:  26-NOV-2002


PURPOSE This bulletin explains how to use the new Oracle9i feature Automatic Undo Management (AUM) versus the Manual Undo Management related to conventional rollback segments. SCOPE & APPLICATION Oracle9i. Managing Rollback/Undo Segments in Automatic Undo Management:

=============================================================  This new
feature simplifies and automates the management of undo segments. DBAs have the choice to manage rollback segments as they used to do under versions Oracle7, Oracle8, and Oracle8i, or to let the RDBMS do it. There are now two modes of rollback segments management and usage: * AUTOMATIC or * MANUAL To distinguish between the two types of segments, ROLLBACK segments are called UNDO segments when AUM is enabled. In both cases, rollback/undo segments are still the only way for transactions to execute and complete. This means that with either method, rollback/undo segments
are present in the database and use disk space.   *******************
INIT.ORA parameters *******************  1. UNDO_MANAGEMENT can be set to
AUTO if you want the RDBMS to manage undo     segments
ically:        - RDBMS creates them when you create a new UNDO
pace       - RDBMS alters them ONLINE/OFFLINE when you choose a specific
UNDO          tablespace       - RDBMS drops them when you drop an UNDO
tablespace     In this case, DBAs cannot manage undo segments at all, though
they still do     exist as "rollback" segments.      Note: Though you can
create rollback segments in UNDO tablespaces, it is           strongly
recommended not to do it.     UNDO_MANAGEMENT can be set to MANUAL if you
want to keep the control on     rollback segments.  2. If you decide to use
AUM, you have to create at least one UNDO tablespace to     store the undo
segments automatically created.     Even if AUM uses only one UNDO
tablespace at the instance level, you can     create several UNDO
tablespaces. In this case, specify which UNDO tablespace    is to be used:
UNDO_TABLESPACE=rbs        SQL> select name,value from v$parameter
where name in ('undo_management','undo_tablespace');        NAME
VALUE       ------------------------------------ ---------------------------
---       undo_management                      AUTO       undo_tablespace
RBS     Having several UNDO tablespaces available in the database provides
the     possibility to switch and use a different tablespace with smaller or
larger global size for different purposes of usage, such as OLTP, BATCH.
************************* UNDO Tablespaces Creation
*************************  1. You create the UNDO tablespace at database
creation.  (Refer to    [NOTE:135053.1] How to create a database with
Automatic Undo Management).  2. Or after database creation:        SQL>
create undo tablespace UNDO_RBS1            datafile 'undorbs1.dbf' size
100m;       Tablespace created.   ******************************** UNDO
Tablespaces Characteristics ********************************  1. They are
locally-managed with system extent allocation:        SQL> select
TABLESPACE_NAME, CONTENTS,                   EXTENT_MANAGEMENT,
ALLOCATION_TYPE,                   SEGMENT_SPACE_MANAGEMENT            from
dba_tablespaces where contents='UNDO';        TABLESPACE_NAME
CONTENTS  EXTENT_MAN ALLOCATIO
SEGMEN       ------------------------------ --------- ---------- --------- -
-----       RBS                            UNDO      LOCAL      SYSTEM
MANUAL       UNDO_RBS1                      UNDO      LOCAL      SYSTEM
MANUAL   2. You cannot use UNDO tablespaces for other purposes than UNDO
SEGMENTS and     cannot do any operation on system generated undo segments:
SQL> create table T (c number) tablespace undo_rbs1;       create table T (c
number) tablespace undo_rbs1       *       ERROR at line 1:       ORA-30022:
Cannot create segments in undo tablespace        SQL> create rollback
segment undo_rs1 tablespace undo_rbs1;       create rollback segment
undo_rs1 tablespace undo_rbs1       *       ERROR at line 1:
ORA-30019: RBU Rollback Segment operation not supported in SMU mode Note: You can create rollback segments on an UNDO tablespace while the database runs in manual mode, but it is useless since these rollback segments cannot be set online when running in AUM mode. 3. Only one UNDO
tablespace can be used at the instance level:     => use UNDO_TABLESPACE=rbs
in init.ora parameter file to set it before       instance startup    => or
use the SQL command to change the UNDO tablespace during instance
life:           SQL> alter system set undo_tablespace=undo_rbs1;
System altered.   ************************************** Rollback Segments
versus UNDO Segments **************************************  1. When
creating an UNDO tablespace, these are automatically created:    * n undo
segments (based on SESSIONS parameter value)     * named as _SYSSMUn$    *
owned by PUBLIC (usable for OPS configuration)    * not manually manageable
SQL> select owner,segment_name,tablespace_name            from
dba_rollback_segs order by 3;        OWNER  SEGMENT_NAME
TABLESPACE_NAME       ------ ------------------------------ ----------------
--------------       PUBLIC _SYSSMU1$                      RBS       PUBLIC

_SYSSMU2$ RBS PUBLIC _SYSSMU3$
RBS PUBLIC _SYSSMU5$ RBS PUBLIC _SYSSMU7$ RBS PUBLIC _SYSSMU9$ RBS PUBLIC _SYSSMU10$ RBS PUBLIC _SYSSMU8$ RBS PUBLIC
_SYSSMU6$ RBS PUBLIC _SYSSMU4$
RBS SYS SYSTEM SYSTEM PUBLIC
_SYSSMU11$ UNDO_RBS1 PUBLIC _SYSSMU12$
UNDO_RBS1 PUBLIC _SYSSMU13$ UNDO_RBS1 PUBLIC
_SYSSMU14$ UNDO_RBS1 PUBLIC _SYSSMU15$
UNDO_RBS1 PUBLIC _SYSSMU16$ UNDO_RBS1 PUBLIC
_SYSSMU17$ UNDO_RBS1 PUBLIC _SYSSMU18$
UNDO_RBS1 PUBLIC _SYSSMU19$ UNDO_RBS1 PUBLIC
_SYSSMU20$ UNDO_RBS1 2. If you choose to use AUM, you
have no chance to manage any undo or rollback, even on an non UNDO tablespace. SQL> create public rollback segment rs1 tablespace system; create public rollback segment rs1 tablespace system * ERROR at line 1: ORA-30019: Illegal rollback Segment operation in
Automatic Undo mode 3. Only undo segments of the active UNDO tablespace and the SYSTEM rollback segment are kept ONLINE. All other rollback segments and undo segments of other UNDO tablespaces are OFFLINE. Nevertheless, not all undo segments of the active UNDO tablespace are ONLINE at startup: this depends on the SESSIONS parameter. For example, if 10 undo segments exist and you startup the instance with a lower SESSIONS parameter value, the existing UNDO segments are kept but only a few of them are onlined. The OFFLINE undo segments of the active UNDO tablespace are onlined when more transactions require the use of offlined undo segments.
******************************************************* Automatic Undo
Management and Real Application CLusters
*******************************************************  The undo space
management feature is also useful in Real Application Clusters environments. 1. All instances within Real Application Cluster
environments must run in the     same undo mode.   2. Set the global
parameter UNDO_MANAGEMENT to AUTO in your server parameter     file.
If you use client-side parameter files, the setting for UNDO_MANAGEMENT must be identical in all the files. 3. Set the UNDO_TABLESPACE parameter to assign the appropriate undo tablespace to each respective instance. Each instance requires its own undo tablespace. If you do not set the UNDO_TABLESPACE parameter, each instance uses the first available undo tablespace. Remarks ------- 1. There is another undo_ init.ora parameter:
UNDO_SUPPRESS_ERRORS.     Use it very carefully: set to TRUE, it suppresses
any error message issued     when attempting manual operations while in AUTO
mode.       SQL> alter rollback segment "_SYSSMU1$" online;      Rollback
segment altered.       SQL> alter rollback segment "_SYSSMU13$" offline;
Rollback segment altered.       SQL> alter rollback segment rs1 online;
Rollback segment altered.     All these statements seem to have executed the
operation, but in reality did     not do anything.  2. Like rollback
segments dropped MANUALLY, queries that need to access the     transaction
undo information residing in a dropped UNDO tablespace may     result in
ORA-01555 "snapshot too old (rollback segment too small)" error,     if the
snapshot is older than the DROP-SCN of the UNDO tablespace.
