Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Intermittend ORA-12519, TNS:no appropriate service handler found
Hi all,
we have an Oracle 10 (version details below) on Linux (RHEL 4). When connecting via JDBC we get intermittend ORA-12519 (reflected as TNS-12519 in listener.log). sqlldr also has a problem, although at the moment I can't exactly determine whether it's the same (I'm guessing it is because the happen about the same time).
Research on the web revealed that a too low value for "processes" might be the reason. (The other possible cause I found was non matching versions of DB and client but this is not the case here.) So we increased DB param "parallel_max_servers" to 200. Since the error still showed up we went up to 400. It's been quiet since the last change of this parameter on Tuesday but some minutes ago I got an email notification that the error occurred again.
I rather not want to increase the value by trial and error since we have only 36 sessions on the database right now and there seems to be a discrepancy between parameter "processes" (at 150 now, the value is derived from "parallel_max_servers") and the actual # of processes. Also the system is not much utilized and there's enough free resources (CPU wise and memory wise). So I'd like to first find out what is causing this error before I take further measures.
I checked the alert log but there were no significant entries. I checked job scheduling to check whether there might be a job that eats up connections, but no. I guess switching on some trace might be helpful but at the moment I don't have an idea which one would be appropriate. Any ideas? Thanks for any insights!
Kind regards
robert
