Hi Siva
It depends on your platform. Try swap -a...

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: ora 4031 Hi Sarah I managed to do just the same.. One of our process was unnecessarilypinning
and also increased the swap space... I dont know whether they also contributed towards solving the problem thopugh I dont see any direct correlation...
Any way now ora-4031 is gone now...

Babu,
We started getting these last week when testing some new code on a
7.3.4
database. Go to metalink and search under technical bullittens for ora-4031
(note 61623.1--I think). I have also found some good information in Richard
Neimic's (TUSC) book on Tuning. Steve Adam's book on Oracle Internals and his web site had some useful scripts also (www.ixora.com.au). We made both the shared pool and the reserved pool larger and ended up unpinning a lot of
application packages that had been pinned for the last year or more--and then the errors stopped. I am trying to figure out how to predict how much memory things are going to need...
Good luck.
