To set the minimum undo retention period:

Do one of the following:

Set UNDO_RETENTION in the initialization parameter file.
UNDO_RETENTION = 1800
Change UNDO_RETENTION at any time using the ALTER SYSTEM statement:
ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_RETENTION = 2400;

The effect of an UNDO_RETENTION parameter change is immediate, but it can only be honored if the current undo tablespace has enough space.
