Might I inquire what in the world has motivated you to set the undo retention 
to 16000
when query duration was reported as 33219 seconds at the moment of error? The 
meaning
of undo retention is the number of seconds that a query can execute without 
receiving 
ORA-1555. I would have set the maximum query duration to 65536. 
Worse yet, you should have set undo retention to a nice round number, something 
like 
16384, definitely not 16000. Remember, there are only 10 types of people: those 
who
understand binary and those who do not.
