🔍

Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
Insufficient Undo Tablespace Size
The undo tablespace does not have enough space to accommodate current transaction load. Increase the undo tablespace size to accommodate peak transaction activity.
⚠️
Incorrect Undo Retention
The undo retention period is too long, leading to the undo tablespace filling up quickly. Reduce the `UNDO_RETENTION` parameter to a more appropriate value.
⚠️
Autoextend Disabled
The undo tablespace datafiles are not configured to autoextend, preventing them from growing automatically when needed. Enable autoextend on the undo tablespace datafiles.
⚠️
High Transaction Volume
An unusually high volume of transactions is generating excessive undo data. Investigate and optimize any long-running or resource-intensive transactions.
