Hello Satadal,
The error is due to Oracle the reasons could be:
1. Number of open connection that Oracle Net can process simultaneously
2. Number of memory buffers which can be used simultaneously
3.Number of processes a particular database instance is allowed
In case of 1 and 2 its a harware bottle neck
In case of the 3rd point the number of process that the OraTNSlistener can listen to can be increased in the Initsid.ora file (but since this is for SAP i would suggest init<DBSID>.ora file.
But either ways check the logs files sqlnet.log or listener.log
for details of the error.
In most cases waiting for the open connections to close and then trying BRCONNECT should do it.
