when trying to allocate 16396 bytes (koh-kghu sessi,pl/sqlvc2)." Through Metalink research I found out that the recommended setting for the pga_aggregate_target for an Oracle Applications 11i environment is between 1-20 GB. We have allocated 1GB to pga_aggregate_target in Patch environment. The IS-STOA server has 24GB memory. How to avoid this error?
The information you found on Metalink is correct. You need to have a correct setting for the PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET initialization parameter. The big question becomes, what is the correct setting? Unfortunately, I cannot answer that question. However, I do have a white paper on my Web site titled "Tuning PGA in Oracle 9i" which shows you how to successfully determine the value for this parameter.
