We are trying to resolve the issue related to error ORA-12520 TNS:listener could not find available handler for requested type of server.

Suddenly all the users are facing the issue and reported to DB team to resolve the issue. Lets start to check and resolve.

DBA checked the connection and facing same issue as below snap

Checking if the tnsping is working or not.  But it’s working fine.

Now, DBA checking any resource limit is exceeding in database or not.

SQL> select resource_name,current_utilization,max_utilization,initial_allocation,limit_value from v$resource_limit;

At this stage, DBA Increasing the processes in database as below command

SQL> alter system set processes=1200 scope=spfile;

Note:- Restart the Database and check again the resource limit is exceeding in database
