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
