Re: ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (%s) exceeded

Hi,

you can find current values;

SQL>show parameter processes;

SQL>show parameter sessions;

Calculate the new value and alter the parameters;

SQL>ALTER SYSTEM SET "PROCESSES"=<NEW VALUE>  SCOPE=SPFILE;

SQL>COMMIT;

SQL>SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE (BEFORE STOP SAP)

SQL>STARTUP

Start SAP.

PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS = (NUMBER CPU CORES*10)  -> find no. of CPU in Device Manager - Processor

You can find the processes and session values from below parameter and set to initSID.ora and create spfile from pfile;

shutdown sap & oracle then start to Oracle & SAP.

1431798 - Oracle 11.2.0: Database Parameter Settings
