Today we have faced a backup failure of a Oracle DB and later was able to fix the issue following the steps below.
Error
--------
RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-04004: error from recovery catalog database: ORA-12516: =
TNS:listener could not find available handler with matching protocol =
stack
------
ERROR : ORA-12516: TNS:listener could not find available handler with matching protocol stack
CAUSE : One of the most common reasons for the TNS-12516 and/or TNS-12519 errors being reported is the configured maximum number of PROCESSES and/or SESSIONS limitation being reached. When this occurs, the service handlers for the TNS listener become "Blocked" and no new connections can be made.
SOLUTION :
----------------
1.Check maximum value for processes and sessions using below command :
select name, value from v$parameter where name in (‘processes’,'sessions’);
2.Check current process and session and maximum limitation using below command :
select * from v$resource_limit;
3. Increase your process and session, for example to 300 using below command :
alter system set processes=300 scope=spfile;
alter system set sessions=300 scope=spfile;
4. You need to restart database to take effect.
