There is no such thing as a sessions limit unless your DBA imposed one. Ask your DBA. The BEA consultant probably needs to be escorted to the door due to a lack of understanding of the topic on which they are attempting to consult.

Also ask your DBA why you are working with unsupported buggy obsolete software and why they haven't upgraded to, at least, 8.1.7.4.
