Afternoon esteemed colleagues, We are running Applications 11.0.3, and in a move towards iProcurement have upgraded our 8.0.5.2 database to 8.1.6.3. Everything tested OK, but after a couple of days of live running, the ORA-4031 errors that we used to get in clumps once / twice a day crept up to four / five times a day, then in 24 hours brought the system to it's knees.
I have monitored perm chunks in the shared pool, and the free space gradually gets maxed out, even though the lib cache and buffer cache are 95% and 85% full respectively. It looks like the free chunks (when they finally appear) are big enough to accommodate the chunks that are failing in the ORA-4031 message, tho'... Has anyone seen anything else like this? The instance is now unusable after 30 minutes, and shows no signs of miraculous recovery.
