Guys,

 

I am running my SAS code in Oracle and in the past, I was able to trap the error message "ERROR: ORACLE execute error: ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 70 with name "_SYSSMU70_3114942609$" too small" when it was encountered and sent to the team. However, for the past month I haven't been able to do that per the log below because SAS system stopped processing. Please can anyone help with this?

The error message from Oracle is usually a secondary error, indicating that a query runs too long and exceeds timeout limit. Oracle wants to rollback but could not due to snapshot being too old. The reason it is too old is because the space allocated for snapshot is full.

If Oracle hint is used to speed up the query, make sure preserve_comments option is used in connect to statement.

So your problem is that can't get hold of the log with this error message?

Maybe you can try using the LOGPARM system option:

"You use the WRITE= option of the LOGPARM= system option to configure when the SAS log contents are written. Set LOGPARM=“WRITE=IMMEDIATE” for the log content to be written as it is produced"
