ORA-01555: snapshot too old when expired blocks are available

BANNER

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Prod

PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production                         

CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production                                     

TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production                 

NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production    

                    

We have fixed size undo tablspace of 2Gb with undo_retention period of 1 hour.

We are getting ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 51 with name "_SYSSMU51$" too small error during execution of purging process.

I want to know If there are expired blocks available and steal count for unexpired blocks is 0, then why we get ORA-01555 error.

According to below query output:


EXPIREDBLKS = 138616

UNXPSTEALCNT = 0

set line 2000

SELECT *

FROM dba_hist_UNDOSTAT

where ssolderrcnt <> 0

BEGIN_TIME            END_TIME              DBID INSTANCE_NUMBER SNAP_ID UNDOTSN UNDOBLKS TXNCOUNT MAXQUERYLEN MAXQUERYSQLID MAXCONCURRENCY UNXPSTEALCNT UNXPBLKRELCNT UNXPBLKREUCNT EXPSTEALCNT EXPBLKRELCNT EXPBLKREUCNT SSOLDERRCNT NOSPACEERRCNT ACTIVEBLKS UNEXPIREDBLKS EXPIREDBLKS TUNED_UNDORETENTION
