 I am asking you because I researched quite a lot about this error, and all 
solutions say this is a number of processes/sessions, but this is not the case, 
since sessions/processes number is quite low, and far from the maximum.

 

Nevertheless, check with select * from v$resource_limit;  and check 
MAX_UTILIZATION against INITIAL_ALLOCATION and LIMIT_VALUE for processes and 
sessions.

Hi guys, 

 

JDBC Connections to my 11.2.0.4 Database are getting this error quite 
intermittently:

 

TNS-12516: TNS:listener could not find available handler with matching protocol 
stack

 

 I am asking you because I researched quite a lot about this error, and all 
solutions say this is a number of processes/sessions, but this is not the case, 
since sessions/processes number is quite low, and far from the maximum.

 

I searched in the listener.log, and only found "Warning: Subscription For Node 
Down Event Still Pending" warnings, and solved them setting 
SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT=OFF, but it had nothing to do with the error, 
because it keeps showing up.

 

Couldn't find any more information on the listener.log, only the same errors 
JDBC connections are getting (TNS-12516: TNS:listener could not find available 
handler with matching protocol stack)

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks a lot.
