Don't forget to set PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT in 12c Database

As per documentation :

"This feature limits the total amount of Program Global Area (PGA) that an instance can allocate, using a parameter called PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT. When the instance has allocated the PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT amount of PGA, sessions with the highest amount of allocated PGA are stopped until the limit is complied with.
This feature is important for consolidation because, without a hard limit, the instance can become unstable due to excessive paging. Excessive paging is one of the leading causes of instance eviction in an Oracle RAC database and can cause a multitude of performance and stability problems."
