ORA-29855 - Unable to allocate shared memory

Hi,
We are encountering troubles (unable to allocate shared memory) while indexes creation. We tried to increase the share_size_memory (actually 52 mb) but this had no effect on this error. The Oracle error code is ORA-29855.
The database is version 8.1.7, hosted on a Linux machine (RedHat 7.2) with 512 mb of memory. The code used for the index creation works fine on other machines (code from 9iAS Wireless installation) running with Windows 2000 as operation system.
Any help or comment will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Fabrice Clari.
The error message is:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
ORA-13200: internal error [ROWID:AAAGDwAAFAAAAvjAAA] in spatial indexing.
ORA-13206: internal error [] while creating the spatial index
ORA-13011: value is out of range
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kope2ucoll700], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 16396 bytes of shared memory ("large pool","unknown object","koh-kghu sessi","kolcalm coll")
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_INDEX_METHOD", line 8
ORA-06512: at line 1

Which portion of shared memory did you increase? The error indicates you need to increase large_pool_size. It seems you may also have other problems since you have several errors, and this only relates to the ORA-04031 error.

  • Ora-04031 unable to allocate shared memory

    Hi Guru's
    Could some one help me in finding the sql's/program which causing the ora-04031 unable to allocate 3896 bytes of shared memory.
    any suggestion is highly apprciated
    Kind Regards

    You may want to take look at:
    ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4032 bytes of shared memory
    >
    ORA-04031 unable to allocate n bytes of shared memory ("string","string","string","string")
    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 initialization parameters SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_SIZE and SHARED_POOL_SIZE. If the large pool is out of memory, increase the initialization parameter LARGE_POOL_SIZE.

  • ORA-27123 unable to attach shared memory segment

    Running oracle 8.1.5.0.0 on Redhat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.12, I keep getting the error ORA-27123 unable to attach shared memory segment when trying to startup and instance with an SGA > 150 MB or so. I have modified the shmmax and shmall kernel parameters via the /proc/sys interface. The relevant output of ipcs -l is below:
    ------ Shared Memory Limits --------
    max number of segments = 128
    max seg size (kbytes) = 976562
    max total shared memory (kbytes) = 16777216
    min seg size (bytes) = 1
    This system has 2gb of physical memory and is doing nothing except oracle.
    I changed the shmmax and shmall parameters after the instance was created, was their something I needed to do to inform Oracle of the changes?

    High JW,
    i had the same problem on my installation.
    The solution is written in the Oracle8i Administrator Refernece on page 1-26 "Relocating the SGA"
    a) determine the valid adress range for Shared Memory with:
    $ tstshm
    in the output Lowest & Highest SHM indicate the valid adress range
    b) run genksms to generate the file ksms.s
    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
    $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genksms -b "sga_beginn_adress" > ksms.s
    c) shut down any instance
    d) rebuilt the oracle exe in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
    $ make -f ins_rdbms.mk ksms.o
    $ make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle
    the result is a new oracle kernel that loads the SGA at the adress specified in "sga_beginn_adress".

  • ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4096 bytes if shared memory

    Hello Gurus,
    Did anyone got this type of error before:
    ERROR:
    ORA-20414: Materialized View refresh failed - ORA-12008: error in materialized view refresh path
    ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4096 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","IDX_MIF_SITE","pacdHds_kkpaco","stP_kkpacd: kkpodPacdInit")
    Every sunday full refresh of the data warehouse is scheduled. This sunday it didn't complete and gave us the above error. This can be solved by increasing the shared pool memory size. But DBA doesnot want to increase it every sunday(This has been going on for 3 weeks now) and it's not feasible to increase like this everytime.
    We want to find the actual cause of it and fix?
    Does anyone know the solution or can throw some light on this issue?
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    We want to find the actual cause of it and fix?The cause is simple - you have run out of memory assigned to the Shared Pool in the SGA.
    The root cause is more of an issue. The Shared Pool is mostly used for keeping the SQL statements and supporting information (such as cursor support). Each unique SQL statement requires it's own area in the shared pool, however identical statements can used the same (shared) area. Shared Pool is also used to store the 'current' data dictionary (table, view, etc.) information. And in some cases, it's also used for 'large' operations such as direct path insert block builds.
    Some of the possible reasons for running out of shared pool might include
    - it's simply undersized;
    - not enough SQL is actually shareable;
    - the large pool has not been allocated.
    That second one is frequent when the application builds up SQL statements by concatenating pieces, including literals (user input) and then executing the unique statement. This is a common technique by developers using .Net, Perl or having SQL Server background. (That mode of operation is very susceptible to SQL Injection.)
    You can get a lot more info from:
    - searching the forum;
    - looking in the docco (Concepts manual and Performance Tuning guide);
    - books, like Tom Kyte's "Expert One on One Oracle", "Effective Oracle By Design", and newer on apress.com

    Whats could be the reason?

    There could be a few reasons causing the problem. From literal message it would look like your shared pool size is small and you need to increase. But the root cause of the problem is a little more complicated than that. I suggest you read metalink doc

  • ORA-04301:Unable to allocate 8144 bytes of shared memory

    I am using 64 bit version of oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0)
    I am randomly getting this error. The full error message is below:
    ORA-04301:Unable to allocate 8144 bytes of shared memory("large pool","COMPANYHISTORY","kxs-heap-w","qesaQBinit:buffer")
    The table name keeps changing as the queries change. Similarly sometimes instead of "large pool" I get "shared pool" in the above message.
    I tried increasing the shared pool size but the problem did not resolve.

    I have already tried that, but I am not able to solve the problem. Is there a way to compute how much space you should define for the shared pool, the large pool etc.

    ORA-04031: unable to allocate 16 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","SELECT j

    Hello,
    you could try to override the automatic memory management and setup your SGA to be larger by setting SGA_TARGET. If that doesn't help yet, you could even try to configure the memory size for the components in SGA manually, but I guess this won't be necessary.
    After your import is done, I'd recommend to use automatic memory management again.
    See the XE 2 Day DBA for details, especially the section on [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/server.112/e18804/memory.htm#ADMQS174]Managing Memory. It's not a complete guide, but a rough introduction, but it'll probably help you understand the memory concepts in the database.
    Keep in mind that you may only assign 1 GB of memory in total when you setup your memory manually.

  • Urgent help with ORA-01062: unable to allocate memory for define buffer

    Hello, Folks!
    I have a c++ code that is using OCI API that is running both in
    windows and in spark.
    (The same c++ code compiled and running in both platforms)
    and asking the same query.
    In windows, everything is OK but in spark
    it failes...
    The ORACLE Server is installed on win2003 station
    Both client and server ORACLE version is 10.2.0.1.0
    The code is running on spark(oracle instant client is installed)
    This query is a simple select query that selects only one field
    of type VARCHAR2(4000) (the same problem with happen with any
    string type field larger than 150 characters)
    The error occured when calling for OCIDefineByPos method
    when associating an item in a select-list with the type and output
    data buffer.
    The error message is: ORA-01062: unable to allocate memory for define
    buffer
    (This error message signifies that I need to use piecewise operation...)
    But it happens even if I make this varchar2 field to be of size larger
    than 150.
    It is not fair to use piecewise fetch for such a small fields sizes.
    May be there is not configuration setting that can enlarge this
    I know that I wrote here a very superficial description.
    If somebody knows something about this issue, please help
    Thanks

    I had a special luck today after searching the solution per weeks:)I have got a solution.
    When I get the size of the oci field, in the following expressioin
    l_nResult = OCIAttrGet(l_oParam->pOCIHandle(), OCI_DTYPE_PARAM, &(orFieldMD.m_nSize), NULL, OCI_ATTR_DATA_SIZE, m_oOCIErrInfo.pOCIError());
    orFieldMD.m_nSize was of type ub4 but according the manual it must be ub2.
    As a result, the number returned was very large (junk?) and I passed this value to OCIDefineByPos
    Now I changed the type and everything is working!!!
    In windows there is not problem with this expression :)
    Thanks

  • Unable to allocate enough memory to render the current frame

    I am a bit of a novice at AE, just starting to learn. I have googled this, searched these forums and tried all I can think of. No luck. SO I will ask here. 
    I bought this AE file  http://videohive.net/item/-earth-zoom-customize/6451983 
    Here is the error message I get when trying to render
    After Effects error: Unable to allocate enough memory to render the current frame (18172 x 18172 @ 8 bpc). Either decrease the memory requirements for the rendering of this frame, or install more RAM. (12805). For more information, see adobe.com/learn_ae_mem (7 :: 66)
    I even tried to render the project without making any changes. No luck

    Running AE CC 12.2.1.5
    First thought, Is my laptop inadequate for this type of work? 
    When it says - (18172 x 18172 @ 8 bpc) is that the resolution it's trying to output? The project is 6 seconds long and 1920x1080 resolution.
    I can render it at half resolution, but not at the 1080 res.
    Thanks for your help.

    Purged cache, set it to purge every 5 frames ... no luck. Purge every frame ... no luck.
    I tried disabling different parts of the clip to render. No luck until I disabled the inner shadow of the globe, and it seems to work.
    What should your purge setting be normally for this ap? I think it was set to "0". SHould I move it back to 0?
    Thanks for your help.

  • After Effects Unable to Allocate Enough Memory to Render Current Frame/ MeshWarp problem.

    Hello,
    I am currently working with 17 layers in AE- CC 2014.1.1 (13.1.1)  Most of the layers have multiple effects, including the "Mesh Warp,"- which happened to have been freezing my computer constantly.  I finally had to change computers... First, I was unable to render these layers, because there is not enough memory space. So I went back to editing. After adding a couple of video layers, I went to play back, and got the above message:  "After Effects Unable to Allocate Enough Memory to Render Current Frame"
    I changed my "cache" folder to my external hard drive. I also upped the cache space from 23MB to 50MB. But I am still getting this error.
    In terms of the Mesh warp: Once i brought the effect to the video file, and tried to move the grid, I got the rainbow spinny ball. It went away after a while. As soon as I clicked on ANYTHING- i got the wheel again. This continued until I "Forced Quit." I don't know what thats about...
    This is the info for the Composition Settings/ computer I am working on. i am trying to give as much information as possible. This is for my Senior Thesis! Can anyone please help me ASAP?
    Best,
    Julia

    What are these layers you're working with? What size? What format? What Codec? What color space?
    What happens if you turn on Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously (reserving at least one core for other programs)?
