What is the relationship between Process and Session parameter in Oracle
601939Jul 18 2008 — edited Jul 18 2008Hi All
I ran into a problem
"ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (150) exceeded " on the other day and I want to fix this temporary by increase the process by some number like 200.
Someone suggesting the syntax to fix my problem then the database must restart after running this command.
alter system set processes=200 scope=spfile;
However, I check the v$Paramenter view I see 2 values I believe they go together are
Processes: 150
Sessions:170.
Here are my questions:
1. "alter system set processes=200 scope=spfile;" is the correct way to increase the max Processes?
2. Do I have change the number of Sessions after changing the number of Processes?
3. Is there other way to increase the processes number without reboot the Oracle database?
