Are you usting MTS?
First start the listener and then the database ( both the databases).
Now check the status of listener.
if nothing works, try
DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_<listener name> = OFF in listener.ora.

No, I don't use MTS. I don't see DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_<listener name> = OFF in listener.ora
# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: F:\oracle\ora91\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = tdt-srv)(PORT = 1521))
)
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
)
)
)

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = KT38i)
(ORACLE_HOME = F:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = KT38i)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = TDTKB)
(ORACLE_HOME = F:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = TDTKB)
)
)

Then set
DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_<listener name> = OFF in listener.ora and try again.

Hi,

I got the similar error. It got resolved when I started the DB listener through services.

As in your case, since there are multiple DBs, try stopping the listener of the old version DB. Though this step is not required in case the DBs are installed on different ports, but still one can try.

rgds,
Manish.

this problem almost root cause of limited server resources or configuration. try to check these

1. database server memory were enough for new connection
2. database connection parameters such as

2.1 dedicated server, pls checked processes parameter or query from v$resource_limit where resource_name='processes'; checked max_utilization must less than Limit_value or
2.2 shared server, pls verify large_pool_size or check dispatcher were enough for all connection.

3. you may check related log such as listener.log, alert log, trace file, etc

We just killed some users and then shutdown and restarted the instance.

It's a temporary solution, DBAbba, but it's fine.
