ORA-04030: out of process memory Tips Oracle Database Tips by Burleson Consulting
Question: ora-04030 oracle 11g On an auto execute of an external job I get the error "ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate nn bytes". Answer: This ORA-04030 can be caused byOra-04030 Out Of Process Memory When Trying To Allocate 64544 Bytes (sort Subheap Sort Key)
a shortage of RAM on a dedicated (non shared server) environment, a too small PGA, and by not setting kernel parameters large enough to allow enough RAM. The ORA-04030 is also common when running an import. See import ORA-04030 error tips. Also see MOSC Note 233869.1 titled "Diagnosing and Resolving ORA-4030 errors". Essentially the ORA-04030 is clear, and "out ora-04030 out of process memory when trying to allocate 16328 bytes of process memory" error, whereby Oracle cannot get the RAM needed to complete the operations. Depending on your release of Oracle, you have several options: Increase pga_aggregate_target Decrease sort_area_size and/or hash_area_size Move to multi-threaded server (a.k.a. MTS or shared servers) Kernel Parms - (Karpinski, Joseph E) In installing Oracle 10G we ran into a number of ORA-4030 issues. We changed the setting of "ulimit" as follows to resolve the issue: ulimit –a time(seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) unlimited stack(kbytes) 4194302 memory(kbytes) unlimited coredump(blocks) unlimited nofiles(descriptors) 4096 It's also part of the Oracle 10G pre-install checklist: Section "ULimits OK?"

Ora-04030 Solution
ORA-04030. Thanks Ajay Goel and we said... add more memory (I did not even have
Ora-04030 12c
to look that one up, unable to allocate X bytes of process memory) Whatever you were doing hit the limit on ora-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 169040 bytes (pga heap,kgh stack) OS memory that could be allocated to you. There could be many causes of this o you write a plsql function like this: declare type array is table of long index by binary_integer; l_data array; begin http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_04030_out_process_memory.htm loop l_data(l_data.count+1) := rpad('*',32000,'*'); end loop; end; o you could be setting your pga aggregate target too high, higher then the system will allocate memory o you could be running on 32bit windows and are just hitting a windows limit because you have too many sessions o you might have ulimit set too low on your unix system and ulimit is artificially restricting the amount of memory you can allocate o and so https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1363891100346045112 on...... But basically - given the question "how do you solve ora-4030", the only casual answer possible is "get more memory or reduce your need for memory". Given that I have no context, nothing to work with, no example, no "we were doing this" - that's all we can say.... Reviews Write a Review some more thoughts on this please January 05, 2009 - 11:38 am UTC Reviewer: reader from India Dear Tom, as you have listed few out of many issues that can cause ora-04030 error, can we calculate memory useage of each session and adding all of this can we arrive at approx memory need on the DB server. I understand from you point that on Windows box (32 bit) we may hit windows limit if too many sessions are active. But if we get rough estimate of the memory required then it will help to say that how much more we need. If you can please share how to get memory useage of each session, here I do understand that it's poosible that one of the stored procedure executed may ask much more memory than other procedures/sessions, but if you can please share your thoughts on this. Thanking you in advance for your inputs on this. Followup January 05, 2009 -
+ Solutions etc. Wednesday, February 27, 2013 Solution to ORA-04030: out of process memory TodayI encounteredfollowing error, while trying to run http://manishnashikkar.blogspot.com/2013/02/solution-to-ora-04030-out-of-process.html "Purge Logs and Closed System Alerts" to purge data from "FND_LOG_MESSAGES" table. ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 82456 bytes (pga heap,control file i/o buffer) ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 16328 bytes (koh-kghu sessi,pmuccst: adt/record) The values for the _PGA_MAX_SIZE and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET has been set to values out of even greater than the 4GB, but yet the same errors persist when 4GB is used. The trace file also confirms that the process is limiting at 4GB. ======================================= PRIVATE MEMORY SUMMARY FOR THIS PROCESS --------------------------------------- ****************************************************** PRIVATE HEAP SUMMARY DUMP 4074 MB total: 4072 MB commented, 192 KB permanent 1131 KB free (768 KB out of process in empty extents), 4071 MB, 1 heap: "session heap " These errors usually show up because of running out of map entries from the OS. There are only 65536 memory map entries per process. Solution Change the upper limit at either the OS or at the database level: Change the page count at the OS level: by root user, $ more /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count
$ sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=200000 (for example) OR at database level, Adjust the realfree heap pagesize within the database by setting the following parameters in the init/spfile and restart the database. _use_realfree_heap=TRUE
_realfree_heap_pagesize_hint = 262144 The default realfree allocator pagesize is 64 KB (65536) , so 64K entries take up 4GB. With 256KB (262144) pages, the limit goes to 16GB.
