ORA-30036: unable to extend segment, our UNDO TABLESPACE grow to 500 GB

Our client report that when they run their batch job the error "ORA-30036: unable to extend segment..." came into their log file.
I have checked with alert log but nothing there. We use Oracle 11g on Solaris 10 SPARC.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks & Regards

Doubt regarding ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace

I am using 11g Release 1 Database .
I have to analyze the performance of two tables of different designs which serve the same purpose and come up with the design which is efficient .
SQL> desc staging_dict
Name                                      Null?    Type
SNO                                                NUMBER
CODE_FRAGMENTS                                     CLOB
CODE_FRAGMENTS_U                                   CLOB
CODE_FRAGMENTS_D                                   CLOB
CODE_FRAGMENTS_DO                                  CLOB
SQL> desc staging_dict1
Name                                      Null?    Type
SNO                                                NUMBER
CODE_FRAGMENTS                                     CLOB
CODE_FRAGMENTS_UD                                  CLOB
CODE_TYPE                                          VARCHAR2(5 CHAR)Initially I tried inserting a few thousand records into both the tables . Then I did some conversion on one column and I populate the result on other column of the same table . So I update the table in bulk mode and I commit for every thousand records .
I have a undo tablespace of 2G with undo_retention=900 , retention guratantee is not set for the undo tablespace .
When I tried the conversion and update on the first table (STAGING_DICT) it took more time for around 2500 records compared to other table and when I increased the number of records to 10000 it threw an error
ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS'
But I didn't come across this error when I tried the conversion and update on the table for the same 2500 records (STAGING_DICT1) and it was also 10 times faster .
My doubt is does the error ORA-30036 occur because it is saving the undo image of all the four clob columns though I am doing conversion on one column and updating the other column (using only two columns in the update and only one column is affected by update command) ?
Also how is that having less CLOB rows prove more effective by adding one more VARCHAR column which differentiates the code_frament type in the STAGING_DICT1 table than having it as more CLOB columns as in STAGING_DICT table ?

Don't you think the error OP reported is kind of weird?
Because as you said, Oracle stores "undo" of lob in user tablespace not undo tablespace if the lob is stored out-of-line.
1. If the size of lob was small, small size of undo would be stored into undo tablespace,
and OP would'nt have undo tablespace shortage problem.
(How does small lob flood undo tablespace?)
2. If the size of lob was big, OP would have 01555 error on user tablespace not undo tablespace shortage error.
So, i think there are 2 theories that can explain this abnormality.
1. OP hit the bug of massive undo generation.
2. OP is using securefile which is 11g new feature.
Oracle documents says that undo for securefile lob is stored in "undo" tablespace, not user tablespace.
But unfortunately, i'm not sture about this coz i didn't try it myself

ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'APPS_UNDOTS1'

Hi,
A user who is trying to run a report on an EBS system, gets the following error from the application end:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'APPS_UNDOTS1'
I would have expected to see this ORA error in the Oracle database alert log as well, however this is not the case.
I increased the size of the APPS_UNDOTS1 tablespace from 1700mb with autoextend to max 3000mb, however it seems that the tablespace is not extending beyond it's original size of 1700mb. In TOAD, I see that the tablespace has not grown even after the user ran the report again. Any idea why? Is there perhaps something that needs to be adjusted on the application side as well?
Thanks.

Hi,
The tablespace is not extending and this error is not written to the alert log, but I found a trace file with the following information....
ORA-30036 happens when trying to extend undo segment SYSSMU91258636580$ (usn=9) by 8 blocks
Reason: Fail to Steal
Current undo tablespace APPS_UNDOTS1 (tsn=1)
undo tablespace current size 218240 blks, maxsize 218240 blks, fixed sized
Undo Retention (reactive): 936, Parameter Undo Retention: 900, Tuned Undo Retention: 936, High threshold Undo Retention: -2
Retention Guarantee FALSE
Does anyone know how to solve this "Fail to Steal" problem?
Btw, the query SELECT DISTINCT STATUS, SUM(BYTES), COUNT(*) FROM DBA_UNDO_EXTENTS GROUP BY STATUS; returns about 55 expired extents, therefore there are still available extents to "steal" from. So why does this fail?

OEM Upgrade - ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace

Oem upgrade Installer failed on repository in upgrading to grid Control 10.2.0.5

I added two datafiles to fix this error so I thought I had enough space now - installer failed when upgrading the repository with ORA-30036 unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS', When I hit retry it keeps failing on the same error. The upgrade is in STATUS -3. Could I run this as sysman and then go back to the installer screen and retry again.
execute emd_maintenance.set_comp_status('_

If you have any tips going forward pleases let me know.,

ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1'

Hi experts,
I'm getting this error
"ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1'"
will you please tell me the reason and suggest me, what to do.
OS - SunOS 5.10
oracle - 10.2.0.3.0

Hallo.
I have this problem 30036 after this request (ver. 10.2):
DELETE FROM AUDITDBA.SEOSDATA where COMPUTERNAME ='xxxxx' AND TIMSTAMP >= '18-03-2011' (! number of rows is less as 2 000 000)
I tried do this:
ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_RETENTION = 5;
But after next action "DELETE" again problem 30036..
Here is a "space status" from the system:
TABLESPACE_NAME VOLNE_MIESTO
CA_AUDIT 3714,1875 MB
SYSAUX 42,1875 MB
SYSTEM 5,25 MB
UNDO_TEMP 7998,0625 MB
USERS 999,125 MB
It's clear for me that datafile UNDOTBS is small but I have same questions:
1. What You recommend - use autoextend on for the UNDOTBS datafile or extend it manualy?
2. What size You recommend for the UNDOTBS when I have DB size cca 350 GB, into DB incomming cca 50 events (rows) per second and I need remove from this DB aproximetly 1/2 numbers of rows (old data)
3. Recommend me best way how I can remove old data from DB without problems as "30036"...
Thank You in advance

Drop columns without ORA-30036: unable to extend segment ... UNDO_TBS

Hello folks, I've a table with 290 million-rows (big enought to be a headache sometimes). And this is my problem, I must drop 21 columns of this table... So, I did
ALTER TABLE <table_name> DROP (column1, column2, ...., column21);
But I got an ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace "UNDO_TBS". And I don't want to extend this tablespace.
There is any operation that doesn't use UNDO space???
To Use this is a valid option?
ALTER TABLE <table_name> SET UNUSED COLUMN <column_name>;
ALTER TABLE <table_name> DROP UNUSED COLUMNS;
Thanks.
Martin

Etbin,
DBMS_REDEFINITION offers some interesting features, among the most important one is probably the "online" redefinition option, but it doesn't do any magic behind the scenes. You'll have a copy of your original table (called the "interim" table) while performing the redefinition so I thought it makes sense to mention that due to the fact that the table we talk about probably consumes a significant amount of space.
It'll will also consume a significant amount of resources to perform the copy of this particular table. What is meant by "original table redefined and the interim table statistics" is that you apply whatever statistics to the interim table while performing the redefinition. The interim table actually becomes the "original" table when completing the redefinition, the two tables are basically "swapped" and you have to finally drop the "interim" table, which also indicates that there are two tables allocating space while performing the redefinition.
I didn't mean to offend you in any way, I just thought it would be good to know about the implications of using DBMS_REDEFINITION.

Randolf

ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by string in undo tablespace "string"

Hi hussein/helios,
EBS 11i
RHEL 4.6
Our users in Inventory - Order Management Module , tried to enter and save transactions, but they encounter this ORA-30036 error:
Unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'APPS_UNDOTS1'
in Package OE_ORDER_WF_UTIL Procedure Start_FlowIn your experience how do you tune this package for an appropriate UNDO? What is the appropriate size for my UNDO? Do I allow it to
to autoextend? or just allocate enough space.
Thanks a lot,

ThanksUNDO Tablespaces should contain between 1024 and 4096 extents
To check for UNDO and TEMP tablespaces that do not obey the extent size rules you can run the following query:
select tablespace_name, initial_extent, next_extent, pct_increase, min_extlen
from dba_tablespaces t,
(select tablespace_name tbspc,
sum(bytes) tbspc_sz,
count(*) num_files,
sum(bytes)/sum(blocks) blk_sz
from dba_data_files
group by tablespace_name) f
where
( initial_extent < (tbspc_sz - blk_sz * num_files) / 4096
or initial_extent > (tbspc_sz - blk_sz * num_files) / 1024
or next_extent != initial_extent
or pct_increase != 0
or min_extlen != initial_extent)
and tablespace_name = tbspc
and tablespace_name != 'SYSTEM'
and ( contents = 'TEMPORARY'
or tablespace_name in (select tablespace_name from dba_rollback_segs));My cases i found iitial extent 65536 and min_exlen 65536
check with this query then decide what will u do...

ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'UNDO'

Hello,
I have an OWB Mapping (which translates into a MERGE query) that often fails with the above error. I wanted to have more information on UNDO. What uses most UNDO?
Thanks.

Dear mugunthan,
One little, tiny correction that i want to make. I can get what you wanted to say when you said "increase the tablespace". Normally we are not increasing the size of the tablespace, we are increasing the size of the "datafiles" in that tablespace. That is tricky and how words can change everything i know but just for the information :)
I think the OP's undo tablespace size is 100% full and the auto extensible ability is disabled. He needs to either increase the size of the datafile in the undo tablespace slightly more or enable the auto extensible of one more datafiles (if exists) to a particular new and more bigger size.
Regards.

0RA-30036: Unable to extend segment by 8 in Undo tablespace

Hi,
I am getting this error " 0RA-30036: Unable to extend segment by 8 in Undo tablespace ". Please Advise me how i can solve this error. Just to let u know that I don't have extra space in my Partition at OS level to increase the size of Undo tablespace. Please Advise what is the alternate option to solve this problem.
I know that I can't do coalesce on Undo tablespace any other way.

Do frecuent commits.
whats the size of your temp tablespace.
you can try reducing its size and giving to undo / rollback.
try droping unused indexes.
But man..... strart planning your space and make an annual budget for disks.

It seems your tablespace SYSAUX to be little: you need to make it bigger or add another datafile. Using "Oracle Enterprise Manager" is quite easy to do, in section "Storage Manager".

Unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1' error ?

I have added a new column to one of my tables,and I am migrating data to fill all the existing rows for this newly added column; but while executing the migration script I get the following error -
Error:ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1'
Of whatever i searched on the net this error points to lack of space for the undo segment of oracle. is it possible to extend this space dynamically?
Any pointers to help me resolve the problem would be appreciated.
Thanks.

<snip>
How have you written your migration scripts? Does it include commits at suitable points in the script, or is it one large commit at the end?
</snip>
Actually, that is the case too. I have a one large commit at the end. To avoid this and introduce commits at some decent regular intervals, i will have to modify my script. I am trying to see if there is any other configuration solution possible :)
Thanks
