If you are using AUM, you cannot offline undo segments without switch=
ing undo tablespaces. You also can 't create new ones or drop=20
old ones. If something happens that creates a bunch of undo segments =
(another issue), you are stuck with them until you are able to=20
drop the tablespace.
If you bounce the database, you will see that a limited number of seg=
ments are online. As transactions are processed, segments are=20
onlined or created as the system sees fit. You no longer have any con=
trol over your undo.
I have a rather detailed paper and presentation about undo at www.opt=
imaldba.com/library.html.
