Failure to extend rollback segment 6

Hello All,
We have 4 Node RAC 9.2.0.8 on IBM AIX.
I am getting following messages in the Alert.log file.
Failure to extend rollback segment 6
FULL status of rollback segment 6 set.
Failure to extend rollback segment 6
Failure to extend rollback segment 6
Failure to extend rollback segment 6
Failure to extend rollback segment 6
Failure to extend rollback segment 6
Failure to extend rollback segment 6
Failure to extend rollback segment 6
FULL status of rollback segment 6 cleared.How to interpret this log messages?
Regards.

It is clear message, your undo rollback segment is small, You need to extent the tablespace, with "alter tablespace add ...". In the other way It can be a inefficient query that "eat" all the rollback.

PS; 9.2.0.8 is terminal release for Oracle 9i and It is out of support.

  • How to extend rollback segment

    Hi,
    for a few days I've been getting the following messages:
    ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment number 3
    ORA-01650: unable to extend rollback segment RBS2 by 512 in tablespace RBS
    after running a package which has always had no problems and where it's also been added a COMMIT after the insert statements inside the package.
    DBAs have tried to increase the rollback segment but the problem is always the same.
    Have you got some advice?
    Thanks!

    By adding a datafile in RBS tablespace.

  • ORA-1650: unable to extend rollback segment

    Hi,
    We have 20 RBS's and in our production instance we got very frequent alerts related to ORA-1650: unable to extend rollback segment continuously. When I looked for select STATUS from v$rollstat; I could see most of them are with FULL status. after couple of hours they disappeared and status became online.
    How to avoid these type of alerts?

    What version of Oracle?
    If you are 9ir2 or later, you should be going to automatic undo management. Though it won't help your 'we cannot add space' restriction. That's not an Oracle problem, that's a corporate issue.
    This problem may be caused by poor transaction design with too many processing doing too infrequent commits. That's not an Oracle problem either, that's a corporate/development issue.
    So...you don't have an Oracle problem.
    You can't stop the 1650s from occurring if you are unwilling to add space or address application issues. However, you can set up an email filter so that any emails containing ORA-01650 in the header or body get automatically sent to the trash.
    <sarcasm>
    If you can't solve a problem, then just ignore it!

    Hi,
    in our application log, we got sometimes an error ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment number 4 and the application hangs and some transactions are blocked. checking the aler database file, we don't found this error but it's appearing often in our system.
    would you lease advise what to do to avaoid this error, or is there a script to find oracle SQl where using too much rollback segment.

  • ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment

    HI
    I was searching the forum for an error when i came across one of the old post regarding the same issue. The link for that post is:
    perfomance problem
    Actually i am getting an error when i run a procedure in Oracle 8i database. Error states:
    ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment number.....
    Now in the link i mentioned above there was a reply by JES. In the reply he recommend not to use commit after every delete in the loop. Instead use one commit after the loop. This decreased the number of commits from 175000 (5 * 35000) to 1.
    My questions is
    1) How would it reduce the number of comments?
    Can anyone explain to this point.

    sorry it should be commit rather than 'comment'
    Okay hoek i got the point but i m still confused. What my knowledge regarding rollback segment is that whenever we start a transaction using any DML a rollback segment starts to maintain unless we end the transaction using commit or rollback. So doing as
    LOOP
    DELETE.......
    DELETE......
    DELETE......
    END LOOP
    COMMIT
    will keep on increasing the size of the rollback segment. In other words rollback segment will have to keep the snapshot of all the three DML's in the loop till the commit.
    Instead if we do as
    LOOP
    DELETE.......
    COMMIT
    DELETE......
    COMMIT
    DELETE......
    COMMIT
    END LOOP
    will keep the size of the rollback segment less than the above example because we are commiting after every DML thus releasing the space before the start of the next DML.
    Don't you think the later can prevent us from ORA-01562 ?

  • Rollback segment error ORA-1628

    Hellow
    Currently we are working on Oracle 8i database.The database contain spatial data around 10GB.We have a tablespace RBS containing 4 rollback segments. The issue is whenever we try to insert spatial data we get this error message (in the alert file)

    Failure to extend rollback segment 2 because of 1628 condition
    FULL status of rollback segment 2 cleared.
    I extended the size of RBS tablespace by adding another datafile, but still it doesn't help.
    Also i found that RBS tablespace is marked as PERMANENT...it means the rollback data does not get flushed out periodically?Also Should this tablespace be temporary? How can i counter this problem?

  • Rollback Segments - 1013 condition

    Hello guys,
    i am recieving the following error:
    Thu Jul 19 14:33:23 2007
    Failure to extend rollback segment 12 because of 1013 condition
    FULL status of rollback segment 12 set.And after that .. it takes a while...
    Thu Jul 19 14:33:39 2007
    FULL status of rollback segment 12 cleared.But the rollback segment 12 is able to extend and the tablespace has enough free space. I try to find something about "1013 condition" but i did not find anything.
    What can i do to solve the problem?
    It happens if i run some big delete statements on my system... i am not very experienced with rollback segments... the most time i use automatic undo managment.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hello Piere,
    thanks for the metalink note... it makes it much more clearer.
    Other notes for Oracle 9i reference this issue as a bug with hang condition.
    Is this your case ?Yeah i got 100% cpu load and the database is "hanging" until i do a "kill -9 <ShadowPID>" and waiting for pmon to clean up the resources.
    The ORA-01013 does also makes no sense in this case... the user is not cancelling the action ... and also what has it to do with the rollback segment.

    Which notes do you mean, that references to bugs?

  • How to solve about rollback segment fail to extend?

    I've a transaction about 50,000 records, then process fail in script. the error code is ORA-01562 FAIL TO EXTEND ROLLBACK SEGMENT = num. I'm use oracle database 7.3.4., form 4.5

    It would be better to have several small transactions instead of one huge transaction of 50000 records, like you say. You may use an additional log table to keep the log of how far you've got in processing those 50000 records, and pick up from where you've left in case something goes wrong.
    Anyway, one thing that may help would be to use:
    alter tablespace your_rbs_tablespace
    add datafile ...;
    to have more space for your rollback segment(s).
    Eventually, you may have a large rollback segment and set transaction use huge_rbs, in order to have your huge transaction use that huge rollback segment.

  • Rollback segment problem

    Hello:
    I'm using oracle 8 database and I have a process that generates small transactions (and they're really small), usually this process is executed from 2 or 3 different workstations at the same time, but they don't use the same data sets. The frequency of execution of the small transaction is 10 or 12 a second for each workstation. Each time the process is executed I can count near 6000 transactions, and I always have 2 o 3 of them arising "ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment number n" error. Since the transaction uses a small space of the rollback segment I can't find an explanation to this behavior. Is this related to the time between transaction and the freeing of the unused rollback segment ? I would really appreciate if somebody could help me!!!
    Thanks in advance, Javier Petrozzi

    It appears to me that some of the transactions remain open for quite some time and the new transactions are not able to obtain an extent for the rollback segment.
    The following query gives some useful information.
      1  select s.sid, s.username, r.name "SEGMENT NAME"
      2  from v$session s, v$transaction t, v$rollname r
      3  where s.taddr=t.addr
      4* and  t.xidusn = r.usn

    alter the tablespace which contains rollback segments, and
    either change the existing datafile (datafile 3) to autoextend
    on or resize, or add new datafile in another disk drive which
    has more space (it is better to set autoextend on or give it a

  • Rollback segment error

    Hello experts,
    My problem is as follows:
    I need to perform a large transaction on one of my tables in my
    database. I have to delete a large number of records using a
    command as follows:
    Delete from mytable where ordernumber like '2000%';
    Each time i launch this command i have the following error:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment (id = 3)
    ORA-01628: max # extents (30) reached for rollback segment R03
    I know that i have a problem with my rollback segment. I have
    thus created a large rollback segment so that my transaction can
    use it.
    I don't know how to tell my transaction use the large rollback
    segment that i created.
    (i know there is a command called set transation user rollback
    segment large_rs1, i have tried it on sqlplus. it gives me
    error: ORA-01453: SET TRANSACTION must be first statement of
    transaction)
    Please help
    thanks in advance for a reply
    Kind regards
    Yogeeraj

    First, you have to create a bigger rollback segment (i.e. RBBIG).
    Then, before each query, you must type:
    set transaction use rollback segment rbbig;
    This will force the use of the specified rollback segment.
    Hope this helps.
