RMAN-06136: & ORA-04031: unable to allocate for SHARED_POOL

724046Mar 24 2010 — edited Mar 25 2010
When I run my recovery for a tablespace point in time recovery, I keep getting:
RMAN-06136: ORACLE error from auxiliary database: ORA-04031: unable to allocate 1056 bytes of shared memory

On my target system here is the info for the pools:

You can see below that what my AUX DB is setting as well. Here is my info from my catalog

So my specs on the db's are:
Version- 11.1.0.7
Type - RAC, 2 Nodes Cluster
Server - Win2003, SP4, 3GHz, 4GB RAM, 64bit

Originally the target was set to 3GB's of a SGA_MAX_SIZE but I dropped it down to 2048M.

I assume the Aux DB's is where the error is happening as the export fails from there. Now, when I dropped the size of the target, I would have guessed that the shared_pool would have increased on the aux DB but it didn't. How can I get my aux db to get more space for the shared pool and actually complete my recovery.
