Hello Stefan,

Thank you very much for your answer.

  1. We did not change any parameter related to memory. Furthermore, we got the same issue (memory usage increased), 2 years ago, when we upgraded from 11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2.
  2. We have 22 single instances at that server. It will take time if we determine the the consumption of each process.

Do you have any simpler idea?

Best regards,

Thanh NGUYEN

However if you have not changed any parameter (e.g. SGA_TARGET, MEMORY_TARGET, PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET) and you are not using more (over-allocated) PGA than before than it is very likely caused by heap memory consumption of each Oracle process - you can check the memory and break it down with "svmon" very easily ( http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1012834 ).
