ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 4024 bytes (kxs-heap-b,kghsseg_1 : kokeibib

Normally users see ORA-04030 error with shortage of RAM or small PGA and kernel parameter config.

ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 4024 bytes (kxs-heap-b,kghsseg_1 : kokeibib)

Users can refer metalink Note 233869.1 titled "Diagnosing and Resolving ORA-4030 errors"

By looking the error it is clear that “out of process memory”, where oracle cannot get the required RAM. But note that you need to analyze the trace to find out the root cause

In my case I found that one of the un-optimized PL/SQL job consuming the resources and caused the issue.

Current SQL Statement for this session (sql_id=gjn38xnrxcfbj) -----
BEGIN orcl_server_bom_script.all_level(:1 , :2 , :3 , :4 , :5 , :6 , :7 , :8 , :9 , :10 , :11 , :12 , :13 , :14 , :15 , :16 , :17 , :18 , :19 , :20 , :21 ) ; END;
57% pid 67: 4089 MB used of 4092 MB allocated <= CURRENT PROC
Dump of Real-Free Memory Allocator Heap [0x7f2c640b4000]
mag=0xfefe0001 flg=0x5000003 fds=0x6 blksz=65536
blkdstbl=0x7f2c640b4010, iniblk=66560 maxblk=524288 numsegs=115
In-use num=65424 siz=4290117632, Freeable num=0 siz=0, Free num=1 siz=20512768


In our case max_map_count value is not enough and needs to investigate why the pl/sql processes requires such a large amount of memory. In this case adjusting PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET or MEMORY_TARGET will not limit the size processes can grow and will not help.

To fix the issue increase the value of max_map_count. To find out current vale of max_map_count run below command

$cat /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count
65530

To change the value run below command
sysctl -w vm.max_map_count= <greater than 65530>

Follow below metalink note to change the value of vm.max_map_count.
Modification of "vm.max_map_count" on Oracle Linux 6 (Doc ID 2195159.1)
