ORA-04031: unable to allocate nn bytes ora 04031 unable to allocate 4096 bytes of shared memory of shared memory Oracle Database Tips by Burleson Consulting July 17, 2015 - Updated February 24, 2016 Question: I am getting the error ORA-04031 Cannot allocate shared ora-04031 solution memory. I've tried increasing my init.ora shared_pool_size, but to no avail. What are some causes for the ORA-04031 error, and how do I fix it?Answer: The ORA-04031 error has many root causes. Also, see MOSC notes 146599.1 and 396940.1 for more details for resolving the ORA-04031 error: Heavy fragmentation of the shared pool -Ora-04031: Unable To Allocate 4160 Bytes Of Shared Memory
This can be fixed by increasing the shared_pool_size or doing a "alter system flush shared pool" or bouncing the instance. Too many pinned packages - If you have pinned lots of packages with dbms_shared_pool.keep, they have not leave enough room for new work. Ultimately the solution to a ORA-04031 error is adding RAM to shared_pool_size and/or shared_pool_reserved_size. In 11g and beyond , if using AMM, increase memory_max_size to resolve the ORA-04031 error. The Oracle documentation has these notes on the ORA-04031 error: ORA-04031: unable to allocate nn bytes of shared memory Cause: More shared memory is needed than was allocated in the shared pool. Action: If the shared pool is out of memory, either use the dbms_shared_pool package to pin large packages, reduce your use of shared memory, or increase the amount of available shared memory by increasing the value of the INIT.ORA parameters "shared_pool_reserved_size" and "shared_pool_size". If the large pool is out of memory, increase the INIT.ORA parameter "large_pool_size". The ORA-040

Resource Center ADRCI Starting with Oracle Goldengate Scripts Useful SQL for DBA's Useful ora-04031 oracle 12c Metalink Articles About Us Contact Simplified Approach to Resolve ORA-4031 Amit Bansal / 21 July, 2008 After writing few Case ora-04031: unable to allocate 65560 bytes of shared memory studies and other related articles, I will be sharing my approach for Resolving ORA -4031 error. First we will see what ORA-4031 actually means. 04031, 00000, "unable to allocate %s bytes of shared http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_04031_unable_to_allocate_shared_memory.htm memory (\"%s\",\"%s\",\"%s\,\"%s\")" // *Cause: More shared memory is needed than was allocated in the shared pool. // *Action: If the shared pool is out of memory, either use the // dbms_shared_pool package to pin large packages, // reduce your use of shared memory, or increase the amount of // available shared memory by increasing the value of the // INIT.ORA parameters "shared_pool_reserved_size" and // "shared_pool_size". // If http://askdba.org/weblog/2008/07/simplified-approach-to-resolve-ora-4031/ the large pool is out of memory, increase the INIT.ORA // parameter "large_pool_size". ORA-4031 error is encountered when we do not have sufficient memory available in shared pool/large pool to service a memory request. But in actual ORA – 4031 can be encountered in any of these areas 1) Shared pool 2) Large Pool 3) Java Pool 4)Streams pool (new to 10g) This brings us to the first step in our pursuit for finding the cause for ORA -4031. Step1: Identify the Pool associated with error Like any other Oracle error, we first need to check Database Alert Log file and also any trace files which gets generated during that time in user_dump_dest,background_dump_dest. Though there are cases when ORA-4031 error is not recorded in alert.log. Starting from 9.2.0.5, you should be able to see trace files which gets generated in udump/bdump location (Depending on whether background process or user process encountered the error). ORA – 4031 has basically three arguments 1) Size requested 2) Area 3) Comment ORA-4031: unable to allocate

(I dont want to shutdown the DB nor want to increase size of shared pool) Previously Same issue Came : I left with option to SHUTDOWN DB. So after STARTUP , when i connected through SYSDBA and executed same query alter system flush shared_pool; That time it works perfectlly fine. So question remains as why ORACLE is not allowing flush shared pool when it is out of memory ?

Then edit your question and add OS platform. And then you also should check installation guide - memory sizing. –ibre5041 Mar 10 '15 at 12:16 whether different OS will behave differently on this ? –Nagendra Nigade Mar 10 '15 at 12:18 sure. You have to check SGA sizing against OS limits. –ibre5041 Mar 10 '15 at 12:20 oh no sry. this has nothing to od with OS limits. I was wrong. You probably have an application which parses too
