It seems the ORA-04031 is the main issue, which triggered the ORA-00600 [729] error, after the session got abnormally terminated or killed.

Memory request failed on “shared pool” while trying to allocate 4200 bytes even though you have 9 to 25 mb of free space in 4 subpools.

I have reviewed the alert, trace and RDA report and following are my findings.

# Shared_pool_size is 738197504 and 4 subpools are used.
# Memory request failed for 4200 bytes.
# None of the components in subpools are showing any abnormal growth.

Suggestion
—————-
Issue is not exactly matching with any known bugs. Modifying the memory related parameters will help to avoid these errors.

1) Reduce the number of subpools to 2 from 4, by setting “_kghdsidx_count”=2 and restart the database. This will also help to reduce the shared pool fragmentation. Refer Note 396940.1

SQL> alter system set “_kghdsidx_count”=2 scope=spfile;

2) I have checked the memory request failure which is showing the size of 4200 bytes plus.
Set the _shared_pool_reserved_min_alloc=4000 which will help to allocate memory in reserved area, if the request is greater than 4000 bytes.

alter system set “_shared_pool_reserved_min_alloc”=4000 scope=spfile;

3) Set the shared_pool_reserved_size to 10 to 15 % of the shared pool size, by setting _shared_pool_reserved_pct parameter.

SQL> alter system set “_shared_pool_reserved_pct”=10 scope=spfile;

Implement the above changes and restart the database. This will help to avoid the shared pool fragmentation and helps to avoid the ORA-04031/ORA-00600 [729] errors.

After applying above change ,the error has not occured  again.
