 Undo for Operators: Building an Undoable E-mail Store
The essence of Three-R's Undo, and the property that distinguishes it from more traditional approaches like backup/restore, is that it preserves the system timeline: it restores lost updates and incoming data on replay in a manner that retains their intent and not the (possibly incorrect) results of their original processing.
Since Three-R's undo is targeted at reducing human operator stress and improving overall system dependability, a true evaluation of Undo would require a dependability benchmark incorporating human subjects as described in [2]; such a study is beyond the scope of this paper, although we are in the process of performing one as future work.
While the overhead imposed by Undo is not negligible, ranging from 62ms for a null SMTP session to 484ms for the median IMAP session, it is still relatively small compared to the threshold at which human users begin to perceive unacceptable sluggishness, typically pegged at about one second [16].

To undo further changes in the same region, repeat the `undo' command (no prefix argument is needed).
Whenever an undo command makes the stars disappear from the mode line, it means that the buffer contents are the same as they were when the file was last read in or saved.
The reason the `undo' command has two keys, `C-x u' and `C-_', set up to run it is that it is worthy of a single-character key, but on some keyboards it is not obvious how to type `C-_'.

 blender3d.org :: Global Undo
The amount of required undo memory always is at least the size of the current.blend file, plus an average of about 2-5% of that per undo step.
Undo operations don't (re)store the UI or view settings - as typically is being saved in Blender files - this means that after making changes in the UI, not all undo/redo steps can be obviously visible in all circumstances.
Typically an undo system is based on principles where all changes in the data are being tracked by for example 'history lists' (like script lines), or by wrapping all data-changes with separate functions that can construct an event list for what has changed.

 Undo System for System Operators and Administrators
One of the key tenets of the Recovery-Oriented Computing (ROC) philosophy is that systems should provide undo functionality for their operators and administrators, to allow those operators and administrators to recover from human errors that they make, as well as to recover from failed operations like software upgrades, installs, and configuration updates.
The research prototype consists of a generic undo manager that coordinates the undo process and that provides a framework for expressing application-specific policy with regard to externally-visible consistency across undo cycles.
The consistency policies are the key to the undo system's operation, as they provide the application-specific knowledge needed to reconcile end-user transparency and recovery power.

 AskTom "UNDO RETENTION"
The undo retention time was increased to 3600, the oracle must use/generate more rbs to accomadate it since there are enough space available in the undotbs1 tablespace in autoextend mode.
And ensure that sufficient undo space has been allocated (monitor v$undostat to see if you are prematurely expiring undo extents due to lack of space) You use checkpointing to reduce recovery times in the event of a system failure, but they have *nothing* to do with 1555's at all.
Also, it (for the first time) flags the occurrences of ora-1555 (meaning your undo retention is too small or the amount of disk youve supplied is too small) allowing you the dba to detect this issue without and end user letting you know about it first.

It is even more silly to heed the voice of ignorance when told that properly made fresh raw juices cause sickness when as a matter of fact the temporary discomfort is usually nothing more than the process of bodily "house cleaning" in a perfectly natural manner as a result of these juices.
We must cooperate with Nature to undo the harm that we did to ourselves, and furnish our systems regularly, daily, with the organic elements in sufficient quantities with which to rebuild the cells and tissues of the body.
It takes time to do this and it is my experience that the quickest and most positive way to do it is to determine just how many pints of juices we can drink daily and strive to drink these days without failure or exception for months or years.

 Talking Tuning: Tuning Undo Tablespace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Any executing transaction can consume free space in the undo tablespace, and when the transaction completes, its undo space is freed (depending on how it's been sized and a few other factors, as we'll see in a minute).
As shown in Figure 1, the Undo Management page shows key statistics for the active undo tablespace for the instance—the longest-running query, average kilobytes per minute of undo generated by the system, and the maximum number of kilobytes per minute of undo generated by the system during the selected time period.
Although the Undo Management page shows you at a glance many of the variables of the existing undo tablespace; its configuration; and how effective that configuration is, given the runtime statistics collected in the AWR, you'll turn to the Undo Advisor when you want to extrapolate how future requirements might affect the undo tablespace size.

This scheme works as long as there is enough memory and speed to undo and redo the operation (which is the whole point of implementing the command object.) Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
The problem is that sometimes, implementing undo with the basic command object is inefficient, impractical, or actually impossible.

These records are used to Rollback transactions when a rollback statement is issued or during recovery of a database or to provide a read consistent view of data.
Starting with Oracle 9i, DBA's are provided with some a new feature referred to as "Undo Tablespace" which allows the dba to exert more control on how long Undo information is retained and also eliminates the complexity of managing Rollback Segments in certain environments.

 Optimize Oracle UNDO Parameters
Traditionally transaction undo information was stored in Rollback Segments until a commit or rollback statement was issued, at which point it was made available for overlaying.
Best of all, automatic undo management allows the DBA to specify how long undo information should be retained after commit, preventing "snapshot too old" errors on long running queries.
The default is 900 seconds (5 minutes), and you can set this parameter to guarantee that Oracle keeps undo logs for extended periods of time.
