ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4032 bytes of shared memory

A typical cause is fragmentation of the shared pool due to a lack of sharable SQL. But that is not the sole cause (e.g. have a look at Metalink note 556140.1).

How to use online support forums

…i would suggest going back to the basics – the oracle server concepts manual. once you’ve read that, read it again. next read the developers guide, next read the performance tuning guide…just keep reading…read tom’s books also! once you think you’ve read enough, come back here, and start trolling through performance related questions that tom has already answered. finally if you still have a question, ask it then. from AskTom

DBSNMP account lockout

On a new install of Enterprise Manager 10.1 we would get random failures caused by the dbsnmp account getting locked(timed) due to failed login attempts exceeding the default profile’s setting of ten.

This is caused by the dbsnmp user connecting with the wrong password more than 10 times in a row which forces an account lockout. With the account locked out EM can’t connect to the database. The database is still up and fine.

To work around the problem I have created a new profile and assigned that profile to the dbsnmp user and unlocked the account as shown below.

SQL> create profile dbsnmp limit failed_login_attempts unlimited;

Profile created.

SQL> alter user dbsnmp profile dbsnmp;

User altered.

SQL> alter user dbsnmp account unlock;

User altered.
