The size of my database is around 18GB and undo_management mode is MANUAL (Oracle 9i).
I was taking the export of the schema the process was very slow and after couple of hrs it gave me error
SNAPSHOT TOO OLD

If anyone can throw some light on it i will be very
thankful.

Thanks Mahesh for a fast reply

1)But is there is any solution in Manual mode only.
As seniors are not allowing me to change it to AUTO mode.
2)Can you please explain why AUTO mode is better than MANUAL mode.

thanks in advance

Vivek

SORRY for the wrong info.

UNDO_MANAGEMENT mode is AUTO

I am wondering why i got this error
size of UNDO tablespace is quite big having
enough free space
and UNDO_RETENTION=10800

Please throw some light.

Then all the workarounds i have mentioned above wouldnt simply apply.
Becuase You are not using automatic undo and instead using the OLD FASHION ( prior to 9i) rollback segments.

You can still use the Rollback segments.
all you need to do is size the RBS properly.
Monitor it closely.
If the process is Running out of RBS add more!.

You can avoid all these by using automatic undo managment. Just set your undoretention period.

and i was just going through your first posting.

Try this workaround,
do the export with consistent=N
The one possible reasons for your issue is,
some users may be updating the database while you are exporting!.
So to Hold all the information
Either incraese your RBS or switch to automatic undo mode and set retention period ( which is the RIGHT solution)
or
Just add consistent=N to your export parameters.
Buy this, you are allowing the inconsistencies to exist. Your export may be a success. But it is not consistent.

For more info ORA-1555 , just google it.
You can get all information you want.
