Why might a process erratically report an ORA-00068 for a consistent "alter session set sort_area_size"?

There is some code setting workarea_size_policy to manual and attempting to set sort_area_size to 2147483647.

The value is hardcoded so it doesn't change. But sometimes the code works, sometimes it doesn't. Code was called from a job on a two node cluster.

Error when raised is consistent:
ORA-00068: invalid value 214783647 for parameter sort_area_size, must be between 1835298655 and 0.

Running the commands manually in a sqlplus session works consistently.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Dominic
