Db server doesn't start. Error message: ORA-00020: maximum number of proces

After I changed the parameter from archive log mode. My db server is having problems.
I can't log in as sys using sqlplus. when I log in through sqlplus /nolog, and tried to shut down, here is the error message:
$ sqlplus /nolog

I am stuck on this. i have changed the value of processes in init.ora, but this error still exists. i think I need to do: create spfile from pfile='init.ora', but I need to log in to do, but I can't log in sys.
Please help.
Thanks.

i forgot shutdown abort. used that, created spfile from pfile, and it works ok now.

Error Message - ORA-01722 Invalid Number

Hello:
I have the following situation. When I create an organization, a record is inserted into the following table, AGREEMENTS, and populates four fields.
I have an update form which selects the organization from the AGREEMENTS table so the user can populate the rest of the table. In addition, on this form, there is a drop-down box which allows the user to select the name of a legal document along with the version of the document in which the user needs to select. This select list is created via an LOV joining three tables. The item name for this select list is :P6_DOCUMENT.
The code for the LOV is:
SELECT S.DOC_NAME||' - '|| O.VERSION_NO AS DOC, O.ORG_DOC_CURR_KEY
FROM SUPPORTING_DOCS S,
     ORG_DOC_CURR_VER O,
     AGREEMENTS H
WHERE
    S.DOC_TYPE = 'HISA'
AND S.SUPPORTING_DOC_KEY = O.SUPPORTING_DOC_KEY
AND H.ORG_KEY_LE = O.ORG_KEY
AND O.ORG_KEY=:P6_ORG_KEY_LEWhen the user completes the form, the SUBMIT process is a PL/SQL block consisting of an UPDATE statement to update the AGREEMENTS table based on the selected organization and an INSERT statement to insert a record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table to store the value stored in :P7_DOCUMENT.
Ok, now here is where my problem starts.
When I first bring up the form and I select the organization I want to update, I click the Search button to find the organization and I receive the following error message: ORA-01722 Invalid Number.
At this point all I'm doing is a basic search. There is no insert/update or anything going on. I'm not understanding why I would be receiving this error message.
The search is based on the database column ORG_KEY_LE whose datatype is NUMBER.
In my application, the item assigned to ORG_KEY_LE is P6_ORG_KEY_LE.
I have a PL/SQL block process created (On Load-Before Header) in the Page Rendering area of my page definition. The PL/SQL code that is written is:
BEGIN
IF :P6_SEARCH_ORG != '0' THEN
:P6_ORG_KEY_LE := :P6_SEARCH_ORG;
END IF;
END;I then have an Item created, :P6_SEARCH_ORG, which is a Select List. In the LOV portion of the page for this item, I have the following:
select ORG_KEY_LE display_value, ORG_KEY_LE return_value
from AGREEMENTS
order by 1The reason for using this table is because this table contains the newly created organization which needs to be updated with the remaining columns of data.
I then have a Search button in the Button area which has the following settings:
Button Position: Region Template Position #CHANGE#.
Condition Type: Value of Item in Express 1 is NULL.
Expression 1: :P6_ORG_KEY_LE.
To troubleshoot this problem, I created two pages, one page to do the UPDATE and the second page to do the INSERT.
The SEARCH functionality in both pages are identical.
When I run my UPDATE page, which only involves updating the missing fields, the process works. I have my search box, I'm able to search for the organization, make my updates, and I'm good.
When I run my INSERT page, which involves inserting the record with the assigned document, I receive the error message after I click the SEARCH button. In order to INSERT the record into this table, I first need to SELECT the organization that was UPDATED in the AGREEMENTS table (using the UPDATE page described in above paragraph). When I select the organization, the user can then assign the appropriate legal document to the organization and insert the record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table.
Can someone help me with this error message? I'm not sure why I am able to perform my SEARCH on a page with the UPDATE statement, not able to perform the SEARCH on the page with my INSERT statement, and not be able to perform the SEARCH on the page that combines the UPDATE and INSERT statements.
I did some more troubleshooting and I do believe my SUBMIT process which contains the INSERT statement is the issue. I created a fourth page which doesn't have a SUBMIT process. I brought up the form, searched for my organization and the information for that organization appeared. The problem is definately with my UPDATE/INSERT process.
The PL/SQL block for the Submit process is the following:
BEGIN
update
    MDD.HISA_AGREEMENTS
     set
       LAST_UPDATED_BY=V('APP_USER'),
       APPROVER_SALUTATION=:P6_APPROVER_SALUTATION,
       APPROVER_FIRST_NAME=:P6_APPROVER_FIRST_NAME,
       APPROVER_MIDDLE_INITIAL=:P6_APPROVER_MIDDLE_INITIAL,
       APPROVER_LAST_NAME=:P6_APPROVER_LAST_NAME,
       APPROVER_NAME_SUFFIX=:P6_APPROVER_NAME_SUFFIX,
       APPROVER_EMAIL_ADDR=:P6_APPROVER_EMAIL_ADDR,
       SPONSOR_EMAIL_ADDR=:P6_SPONSOR_EMAIL_ADDR,
       APPROVER_TITLE=:P6_APPROVER_TITLE
where
      ORG_KEY_LE=:P6_ORG_KEY_LE
INSERT INTO
    HISA_AGREEMENT_DOCS
      (HISA_AGREEMENT_DOC_KEY,
       ORG_KEY_LE,
       APPLICATION_KEY,
       STATUS,
       STATUS_DATE,
       CREATED_BY,
       ORG_DOC_CURR_KEY)
VALUES
      (HISA_AGREEMENT_DOC_KEY_SEQ.NEXTVAL,
       :P6_ORG_KEY_LE,
       :P6_APPLICATION_KEY,
       'C',
       SYSDATE,
       V('APP_USER'),
       :P6_DOCUMENT)
END;There is something wrong with the above statement and I do not understand what it could be. Can someone help?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I believe you are on to something.
The select list for item :P6_DOCUMENT appears when I first bring up the form. When I select my organization and receive the error message, I clicked on the Session in the Developer's bar. The value in item/field :P6_DOCUMENT shows %null%.
This is the path in which my user would like to accomplish her task:
1. Select an organization
2. Display the information for that organization from the AGREEMENTS table
3. Enter the data for the remaining fields in the AGREEMENTS table
4. Select the document (:P6_DOCUMENT) from the drop-down.
5. Click Submit
6. Update the AGREEMENTS table with data entered in #3.
7. Insert a record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table with the selection from #4.
Somehow I need the :P6_DOCUMENT field not to show the %null% during the SEARCH functionality. I think that is causing the problem.
How do I fix this?

Error Message (ORA-01722: invalid number) when add amount into Number field

I am using VB.net, trying to insert data into a field called amt with Data Type 'Number'.
my vb.net code is as follows
Dim oradb As String = DatabaseConnectionString
Dim AmountValue As Decimal = 123.45
'get the connection
Dim conn As New OracleConnection(oradb)
'open the database connection
conn.Open()
'create oracle command
Dim cmd As New OracleCommand("INSERT INTO TBL1 (AMT) VALUES (:AMT)", conn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmd.Parameters.Add(":AMT", OracleDbType.Decimal, AmountValue, ParameterDirection.Input)
'Execute
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
I got error message "ORA-01722: invalid number". Please help

Did you also change the below line before inserting Integer 123:
cmd.Parameters.Add(":AMT", OracleDbType.Decimal, AmountValue, ParameterDirection.Input)
to
cmd.Parameters.Add(":AMT", OracleDbType.Integer, AmountValue, ParameterDirection.Input)

Regards,

You should check alert log file on database like Alex told you.
And please post Error ;)
But If You can access +ASM, Or ...by the way... if you stop database ... try to check ASM diskgroup.
$ export ORACLE_SID=+ASM1
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> set lines 130
SQL> set pages 10000
SQL> select NAME, TOTAL_MB, FREE_MB from v$asm_diskgroup;
If your DISKGROUPs for archivelog on DB full... backup or delete them
(please start database mount mode)
$ export ORACLE_SID=DB1
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> startup mount;
SQL> show parameter log_archive_dest
backup archivelog
$ rman target /
RMAN> backup ARCHIVELOG ALL DELETE INPUT format 'ARCH_%d_%U' ;
or delete
$ rman target /
RMAN> delete ARCHIVELOG ALL ;
After that ...
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter database open
This justs my suggestion, if your database has the problem with ASM diskgroup full ... because archvielog...
By the way... please post your result from ASM query and alert log file
Good Luck

how to resolve this problem.it is verry verry urgent.

Hi
"Maximum number of processes exceeded" will be alerted when your database has received a request for connection from a process which is beyond the number of processes your database can allow for.
Please check your database parameters
show parameters processes
Couple of options:
a) If your database has been running for a while and if it's the first time you are recieving this error, please check why all of a sudden more and more processes have been created. You may want to investigate your application, users, etc
b) If it's a valid request and if it's the case that you haven't really configured enough processes, you will have to increase the PROCESSES parameter in your init file and restart the database. It's not a dynamic parameter. Also, make sure you increase the sessions parameter as well along with the processes.
Before you do this, you will also have to check if your OS has been configured for increasing the number of processes. Think it's semmsl in Unix.

ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (25) exceeded ... uh?

Hello,
I'm trying to run a distributed simulation (13 programs x host,
16 hosts) that uses oracle (normally in an HP) against oracle on
linux.
I can't start all the programs, after about 20 clients (+-) no
other program will come up, and if i try to log to oracle with
sqlplus i get:
ERROR:
ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (25) exceeded
Is this a static limit imposed in the version oracle is
distributing for testing purposes?
Also, i notice that one server process is started for each client
program. So the distributed version doesn't support multithreaded
servers? Or may be i configured it wrong?

 void com.evermind.util.ThreadPoolThread.run()
Question:
- What is the cause of this error message? How to avoid?.
From the Oracle error message documentation:
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.
Another alternative approach may be to configure your Connection pool and/or your ApplicationModule pool to optimize the use of
database connections and/or restrict the number of database connections used by the application. For example, if your application
has declared many root ApplicationModules (i.e. more than one ApplicationModule pool is in use) then it may help to enable the
jbo.doconnectionpooling switch so that each ApplicationModule instance in the pools does not maintain a dedicated database
connection while not in use. Another alternative if you are using the BC4J connection pool (not a JDBC datasource) may be to
restrict the number of connections the pool can create to < 150 with the jbo.maxpoolsize switch. However, please note that this
may have an impact on throughput.
- I intended to deploy my application to 9IAS server. Will the same problem occurs too?.
This is a database issue. So, yes.
Hope this helps.

ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (500) exceeded

Problem Details:
In our Database we are getting huge number of open connection from remote system.
Let say, our application A and remote application name is B.
Some common users of application A are USER0, USER1, USER2.
Remote Application B uses USER0 to create views on application A's table through Database Link.
Those views (nearly 100) are accessed in application B at several places from the Java code.
Since those views are getting called almost all the times from the application B's code, DB link is in use almost all the time - holding many number of connections (check the first row of the query output).
Many times the open connections remaining high and any other application, users trying to connect to application A,
getting the ORA-00020 error.
Note :
1. Application B is very old application and does not use open DB link or close DB link.
2. Application B tried with "alter session close Database link xxx", it decrease the number of open connection but its degrading the performance of application B at large scale.
3. To cope up with this problem Application A recently incraesed the parameter process=500, but not sure if this limit can also be broken through Application B
Questions/Doubts:
1) What is best approach to handle this problem??
'alter session close database link xxx' is the only option from application B's point ??
What other approach can be taken??
2) We are not sure the risk associated with increasing the process parameter value ??
Appreciate your suggestion !!

ERROR:
ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (500) exceeded
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.

semmsl in Linux tells what the max number of processes are. You have to make sure this is equal to the process parameter of all instances plus 10.
It is usually in /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
SEMMSL
The SEMMSL kernel parameter is used to control the maximum number of semaphores per semaphore set.
Oracle recommends setting SEMMSL to the largest PROCESS instance parameter setting in the init.ora file for all databases hosted on the Linux system plus 10. Also, Oracle recommends setting the SEMMSL to a value of no less than 100.
SEMMNI
The SEMMNI kernel parameter is used to control the maximum number of semaphore sets on the entire Linux system.
Oracle recommends setting the SEMMNI to a value of no less than 100.
SEMMNS
The SEMMNS kernel parameter is used to control the maximum number of semaphores (not semaphore sets) on the entire Linux system.
Oracle recommends setting the SEMMNS to the sum of the PROCESSES instance parameter setting for each database on the system, adding the largest PROCESSES twice, and then finally adding 10 for each Oracle database on the system. To summarize:
SEMMNS = sum of PROCESSES setting for each database on the system
+ ( 2 * [largest PROCESSES setting])
+ (10 * [number of databases on system]
To determine the maximum number of semaphores that can be allocated on a Linux system, use the following calculation. It will be the lesser of:
SEMMNS -or- (SEMMSL * SEMMNI)
SEMOPM
The SEMOPM kernel parameter is used to control the number of semaphore operations that can be performed per semop system call.
The semop system call (function) provides the ability to do operations for multiple semaphores with one semop system call. A semaphore set can have the maximum number of SEMMSL semaphores per semaphore set and is therefore recommended to set SEMOPM equal to SEMMSL.
Oracle recommends setting the SEMOPM to a value of no less than 100.
App B could try using connection pooling or something to reduce the number of connections to the DB.

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

nobody was able to log into the database. when I tried 'sqlplus / as sysdba' I got : ORA-00020: maximum number of processes 1000 exceeded
database is 11.2.0.2 with patch 12
I've bounced the database and increased the processes..
my question is.. is there a way to tell what the processes were? what machine they were coming from? in a log somewhere..
Since I was unable to log in, I couldn't tell what had happened.. who was causing it..
if it happens again.. is there a way to log it?
also, this machine has DataGuard to a standby system.. is it possible for something to go wrong with dataguard and cause this?

You have only treated the symptom and not fixed the cause. As fellow members said, you could kill some "non-critical" processes and log in to the database.
But you will have to find out why there were so many processes in place. I am sure you might have set the definite number of processes after your planning before you went live. If you suddenly see too many processes, you will have to find out why and where they are coming from. Also check if there are any rogue processes.
To find out if there are any processes which have no sessions attached
select spid from v$process where addr not in (select paddr from v$session);
To answer your question, data guard shouldn't be affected by this. Nor would dataguard cause this issue in primary.
Fix this processes issue before it's too late. Otherwise, there will be a situation when you will have to keep increasing the processes until you hit the OS limit

Customize Error Message: Exceeded configured maximum number of...

I realize the "Exceeded Configured Maximum..." error message results from a certain threshold being passed. But would anyone know where I would start to customize that message to add some more user-friendly information, such as "Use more specific criteria to filter the results".
I assume it is housed in java file but didn't know if any one has tried to customzie this message?
Thanks.

Error message F5 727 ("Maximum number of items in FI reached"

Hi Experts,
Our client is having a scenario where the different stores they have sells good which some times generate line items >999 and as such the invoice document doesn,t get posted to accounts and sits in VFX3.
We had detailed discussions with the client and they have informed us in categorical terms that SAP,s standard functionality of not posting a document if it is >999 does not impress them.
After much thought it is decided to resort to document summarization through SAP note 36353 with only SD application area. In this project new G/L is activated and COPA has been implemented.
I request you to tell me if this process of summarization would affect any document splitting and flow of values to COPA.
Please provide me a solution.
Regards,
Ramkumar B.

Hi Ramkumar,
As the document spliiting is based on Document type and GL account item category. So as long as these parameter remains same, it would not effect splitting functionality.

It is A Good Thing (tm) that you actually copied and pasted the entire error message. Some here seem to think "it doesn't work" is an actionable error message. However, for future reference, error messages are the result of something happening. They are far more meaningful if you were to also copy and paste the command that triggered the error.

Easiest way is to use the utility 'dbca' (database configuration assistant).

Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Drill down to your product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

Error Messages : ORA - 37118, ORA - 06512

When i'm starting the oracle workspace manager software and trying to create a new workspace related to a schema, after to be connected to a database instance,
I get those error messages: ora - 37118, ora - 06512

Hi,
I have never encountered an ORA-37118 error during createWorkspace. The following is the description for the error.
// Cause: In shared-server mode, the OLAP API library should be loaded
// during process initialization to ensure that the C++ virtual table
// addresses are identical in all shared-server processes. The
// OLAP API session was executing in a process in which the library
// had not been loaded.
// Action: Set option XSOLAPILOAD_AT_PROCESS_START to SHARED_SERVER or
// ALWAYS, restart the instance, and try again.
You should try the suggested action, to see if it fixes the problem. You could also try another database to see if the error is specific to the database instance. If not, I would need additional information regarding your setup to be able to determine why the createworkspace procedure might not be working. What version of workspace manager are you using ?
Regards,
Ben
