Hi All,
I am getting getting an SQLException, the error message is as follows
"ORA-00020 :maximum number of processes(150) exceeded". I dont know why this is happening. The requirement in our application is such that the maximum number of connections allowed should be limited to 20.
Can anybody tell me what are the possible reasons for this problem? It would also be very helpful if i get the solution as well.

Hi,

Ask your DBA to login and see what those processes do and whom they belong to (v$process and v$session). Sessions may not be properly terminated, or might be using parallel processes.

Best regards.

Hi,

Oracle docs say following:

ORA-00020 maximum number of processes (string) exceeded

Cause: All process state objects are in use.

Action: Increase the value of the PROCESSES initialization parameter.

So ask your DBA to increase the PROCESSES parameter.
