ORA-4031 Error Diagnostic Tool for ORA-4031 Note 1087773.1 ORA-4031 Diagnostics Tools ora 04031 oracle 11g r2 [Video] Have you observed anORA-04031 error reported in your alert log? An ORA-4031 error is raised when ora 04031 unable to allocate 4096 bytes of shared memory memory is unavailable for use or reuse in the System Global Area (SGA). The error message will indicate the memory pool getting errors and high level information

about what kind of allocation failed and how much memory was unavailable. The challenge with ORA-4031 analysis is that the error and associated trace is for a "victim" of the problem. The failing code ran into the memory limitation, but in almost all cases it was not part of the root problem. Looking for

the best way to diagnose? When an ORA-4031 error occurs, a trace file is raised and noted in the alert log if the process experiencing the error is a background process. User processes may experience errors without reports in the alert log or traces generated. The V$SHARED_POOL_RESERVED view will show reports of misses for memory over the life of the database. Diagnostics scripts are available in Note 430473.1 to help in analysis of the problem. There is also a training video on using and interpreting the script data Note 1087773.1. 11g Diagnosibility Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 1, the Diagnosability infrastructure was introduced which places traces and core files into a location controlled by the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST initialization parameter when an incident, such as an ORA-4031 occurs. For earlier versions, the trace file will be written to either USER_DUMP_DEST (if the error was caught in a user process) or BACKGROUND_DUMP_DEST (if the error was caught in a background process like PM

Ora-04031 Solution
Contact Simplified Approach to Resolve ORA-4031 Amit Bansal / 21 July, 2008 After writing few Case studies and other related articles, ora-04031 oracle 12c 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 memory (\"%s\",\"%s\",\"%s\,\"%s\")" // *Cause: More shared memory https://blogs.oracle.com/db/entry/ora-4031_troubleshooting 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 http://askdba.org/weblog/2008/07/simplified-approach-to-resolve-ora-4031/ // 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

http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_04031_unable_to_allocate_shared_memory.htm ORA-04031: unable to allocate nn bytes 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 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 unable to 146599.1 and 396940.1 for more details for resolving the ORA-04031 error: Heavy fragmentation of the shared pool - 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 unable to allocate 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-04031 error also happens when you are using automatic memory management (sga_max_size), and the memory specific is too small. �� Burleson is the American Team Note: This Oracle documentation was created as a support and Oracle training reference for use by our DBA performance tuning consulting professionals.
