ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:fork failed with status: 11

Got the following error in the alert log:


ORA-27301: OS failure message: Resource temporarily unavailable ORA-27302: failure occurred at: skgpspawn5 ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:fork failed with status: 11 ORA-27301: OS failure message: Resource temporarily unavailable ORA-27302: failure occurred at: skgpspawn5 ORA-19583: conversation terminated due to error ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 1052696 bytes (KSFQ heap,KSFQ Buffers) ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:fork failed with status: 12 ORA-27301: OS failure message: Not enough space ORA-27302: failure occurred at: skgpspawn3

Solution: The problem was fixed by increasing the PGA from 399M to 500M.

After a few days, the problem came again. It is solved by reducing SGA to get some free memory on the server.
