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

My Application Team getting below error and unable to initiate connection to the oracle database:

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

When I connected and checked on the database, (here my db is RAC server and using spfile)

On NODE 2:

Checking alert log file 

vi alert_DEVD2.log      

No errors found

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.4.0 Production on Tue Nov 18 19:35:36 2014

Copyright (c) 1982, 2013, Oracle.  All rights reserved.


Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, Real Application Clusters, Automatic Storage Management, Oracle Label Security,
OLAP, Data Mining, Oracle Database Vault and Real Application Testing options

SQL>
col name format a30
col value format a10

SQL> select name, value from v$spparameter where name in ('processes','sessions');

NAME                           VALUE
------------------------------ ----------
processes                      400
sessions                        400

or, check the max and current utilization of these parameters

select resource_name, current_utilization/limit_value*100,current_utilization, max_utilization,limit_value from v$resource_limit where resource_name in ('processes','sessions');

SQL>  select count(*) from v$process;

  COUNT(*)
----------
       166

On NODE 1 :

SQL> select * from v$resource_limit where resource_name in ('processes','sessions');



 vi alert_DEVD1.log      

ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (400) exceeded
 ORA-20 errors will not be written to the alert log for
 the next minute. Please look at trace files to see all
 the ORA-20 errors.


SQL> select count(*) from v$process;                

  COUNT(*)
----------
       380


SQL> select count(*) from gv$process;

  COUNT(*)
----------
       546

From the above output I see my processes are exceeded the value set by oracle(400) and resulting the error in alert log. Then checked the connections to the database:

Set linesize 280;
select count(*),INST_ID,username,osuser,status,machine from gv$session group by INST_ID,username,osuser,status,machine order by count(*),INST_ID;

(or) for single node:

select count(*),username,osuser,status,machine from v$session group by username,osuser,status,machine order by count(*);

Check the output from the above query and kill if find any INACTIVE sessions (idle)

Solution:

According to oracle, PROCESSES parameter specifies the maximum number of operating system user processes that can simultaneously connect to Oracle.


If the database is a RAC database then each NODE can have different values for PROCESS parameter.

SQL> sho parameter spfile;

NAME                                           TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
spfile                               string      +DATADG/DEVD/spfiledevd.ora

Increase the Process parameter (replace xxx with any higher value)

SQL> alter system set processes=XXX  scope=spfile;
System altered.

SQL> alter system set Sessions=XXX  scope=spfile;
System altered.

*** Bounce the database to take effect ***




If processes=x
sessions=x*1.1+5
transactions=sessions*1.1


If the database is running on pfile then follow below steps:

1. Edit the database init.ora
2. Locate and increase the processes parameter to a higher value.
3. Save the init.ora file
4. Stop and restart the database
5. Re-connect to the database instance

Purge 11g LISTENER Logs using ADRCI

While doing server Housekeeping and found my Listener log files are consuming lot of space and contains logs from past few months.

According to Oracle doc, “Listener log files ('.xml' files) are not purged via the 'automatic' purge”. Therefore in 11g releases, these log files (and trace files) will not get automatically purged and so you need to manually delete them when they are no longer required.

Below are my listener log files on node1 of my 2 node RAC

OS version:  RHEL 5.x
Oracle version: 11.2.0.3

ORA-26947: Oracle GoldenGate replication is not enabled

When I’m trying to setup OGG On my Linux Machine after finished installing (Installation Steps) when I start my extract process it got ABENDED with the below Error message and when I see the ORA error in the error log and after researching some docs then I realized Oracle introduced a new OGG parameter in order to enable OGG replication

ERROR:

Solution:

For Oracle DB versions 11.2.0.4 and 12.1.0.2 there will be a new init.ora parameter called ENABLE_GOLDENGATE_REPLICATION.  In order for some of the Oracle GoldenGate functionality to work, this parameter must be set to true.

System altered.

No need to Bounce the database instance

Enable TDE in oracle Goldengate CLASSIC mode


Ref:  [Doc ID: 1451327.1]

To support TDE on Oracle 10.2.0.5 or 11.2.0.2, download and apply Oracle Patch 10395645 to the source database. Oracle 11.2.0.3 patchset includes this patch

Since my database is on 11.2.0.2  Two-Node RAC on LINUX so i'm applying below patch (see patch doc for how to apply)

$ opatch apply online -connectString<SID_Node1>:<Username_Node1>:<Password_Node1>:<Node1_Name>,<SID_Node2>:<Username_Node2>:<Password_Node2>:<Node2_Name>,<SID_NodeN>:<Username_NodeN>:<Password_NodeN>:<NodeN_Name><PATCH_TOP_DIR>/10395645

Put the below code in sqlnet.ora of GI and OH home location :

ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION=(SOURCE=(METHOD=FILE)(METHOD_DATA=(DIRECTORY=/opt/oracle/app/admin/DEV01/wallet/)))

NOTE:  Create the directories on both nodes if they doesn't exists on the server
ex: mkdir -p /opt/oracle/app/admin/DEV01/wallet

copy sqlnet.ora file to other nodes into same locations (GRID and RDBMS homes)

ex: scp sqlnet.ora oracle@oracledev012.domain.com:/opt/oracle/database/11.2.0.2/network/admin
scp sqlnet.ora oracle@oracledev012.domain.com:/opt/grid/11.2.0.2/network/admin


Now create a wallet password using below sql command from one node:

copy the wallet file from /opt/oracle/app/admin/DEV01/wallet/ from node1 to other nodes

Now, create an entry forORACLEGG in the wallet (this will ask you to create sharedsecret password)

oracle@oracleDEV01.domain.com:/opt/oracle/app/admin/DEV01/wallet INT$ mkstore -wrl . -createEntry ORACLE.SECURITY.CL.ENCRYPTION.ORACLEGG

Re-enter your secret/Password:enter_sharedsecret_password
Enter wallet password:enter_wallet_password

Now verify whether OGG entry has been created or not

Now we’ll see the new ORACLEGG entry in the wallet (only in node1), so to create the entry in other nodes copy the wallet to other nodes

Here I’m doing SCP the wallet file from node1 to other nodes


$ scp * oracle@oracledev012.domain.com:/opt/oracle/app/admin/DEV01/wallet


After copying wallet file from node1 to node2 list and see for new encryption for ORACLEGG entry from Node2 server

NOTE:
- close wallet from all the instances.
- re-open the wallet from all the instances.

Ex:
alter system set encryption wallet close identified by "xxxx"; (node1)
alter system set encryption wallet open identified by "xxxx"; (node1)
alter system switch logfile;

alter system set encryption wallet close identified by "xxxx"; (node2)
alter system set encryption wallet open identified by "xxxx"; (node2)
alter system switch logfile;

Connect to ggsci and encrypt the sharedsecret password

Adding Disks to ASM diskgroup Manually

From above we see REDO diskgroup has only I disk(REDO01)

Now to check the available disks on server to add them to  ASM diskgroup

SQL> select path, header_status, mode_status from v$asm_disk;

From the above output ORCL:REDO02 now became MEMBER from PROVISIONED status

Now check the ASM rebalancing

After adding all the remaining disks…..

From 11gr2 we can also add/delete/alter disks/volumes using ASMCA(ASM configuration assistant)
