When configuring a brand new instance, it is hard to know precisely the appropriate setting for PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET. You can determine this setting in three stages:
1. Make a first estimate for PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET, based on a rule of thumb.
2. Run a representative workload on the instance and monitor performance, using PGA statistics collected by Oracle, to see whether the maximum PGA size is under-configured or over-configured.
3. Tune PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET, using Oracle's PGA advice statistics.
