Thanks for the reply Dan. Would you suggest setting UNDO_RETENTION to roughly the length of time of the longest running job in the database? For example, in our DW, our BI analysts tell me that their longest batch run is about 1 hr 45 minutes. My uneducated guess is to accordingly set the parameter to approx 2 hours.

You might consider adding a little if you have many concurrent transactions or want to increase the undo_retention to a high number. Once you are using AUM, keep a close eye on v$undostat, though there are some known issues with it not populating properly, keep an eye on the begin_time and end_time. However, for estimation purposes it should work. Daniel Fink Thomas Jeff wrote: > I'm beginning the process of converting over to automatic > undo management.
