1. To Shrink the Undo Tablespace Size.

Undo space once allocated will be available for reuse but will not be deallocated to the OS. The best way to shrink Undo tablespace Information Centers
is to switch to a new Undo tablespace and drop the old Undo tablespace. The steps are: Information Center: Overview

a) Create a new undo tablespace of the same size (larger or smaller) depending on your database requirements. Installation and

c). Check the status of the undo segments and determine if all the segments in the old undo tablespace are offline. [1548952.2]

[2048297.2]

If there are Undo segments with status other than OFFLINE in the tablespace to be dropped, we need to wait till they become Document References
OFFLINE. You may have to wait for the duration of the tuned_undoretention (from v$undostat) to ensure all Undo segments have
become OFFLINE. No References available for this
document.

2. Add Space to the Undo Tablespace.

For increasing / resize undo tablespace there are two options :

a) Resize the existing undo datafile
b) Add new undo datafile to the tablespace.

a) To resize the existing undo datafile:

col T_NAME for a23

col FILE_NAME for a65
select tablespace_name T_NAME,file_name, bytes/1024/1024 MB from dba_data_files where
tablespace_name =(SELECT UPPER(value) FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'undo_tablespace') order
by file_name;

alter database datafile '<COMPLETE_PATH_OF_UNDO_DBF_FILE>' resize <SIZE>M;

Example:
alter database datafile 'D:\ORACLE_DB\TESTDB\TESTDB\UNDOTBS01.DBF' resize 1500M;

b) Step to add a new datafile:

alter tablespace <UNDO tbs name> ADD DATAFILE '<COMPLETE_PATH_OF_UNDO_DBF_FILE>' size 20M;

Example:
alter tablespace UNDOTBS1 ADD DATAFILE 'D:\ORACLE_DB\TESTDB\TESTDB\UNDOTBS02.DBF' size 20M;
