Steps to Reproduce



This error intermittently occurs while submitting or updating the data from the application.


Root Cause



Indexes were missing from several custom tables.  This caused the tables to perform very poorly, which stresses the undo segments.  This caused the undo retention segments to fill up and ORA-01555 errors to occur.

Resolution



Ensure that your custom tables have indexes built on the columns which are commonly used for selection or update criteria.
