Dear all,

I encounter the following error

<msg time='2016-03-22T20:09:32.447+01:00' org_id='oracle' comp_id='tnslsnr'
 type='UNKNOWN' level='16' host_id='cluster1.mes.solar.com'
 host_addr='10.10.20.1'>

    Linux Error: 32: Broken pipe
 </txt>


I discover that my client uses only dedicated connection

SERVER      COUNT(0)
--------- ----------
DEDICATED         62


when I did a lsnrctl service

[oracle@cluster1 ~]$ lsnrctl service

Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=EXTPROC1521)))
Services Summary...
Service "o11g.berlin.solar.com" has 1 instance(s).
  Instance "o11g", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
    Handler(s):
      "DEDICATED" established:874221 refused:34
         LOCAL SERVER
The command completed successfully


one reason could be parameter processes has been set too low, but in order to be sure that processes is in fact low at the time of incident, the only way to verify is to have frequent collection of v$resource_limit, so how often should I snap v$resource_limit through statspack.snap?

many thanks

There is no relation between this error and PROCESSES database parameter.
StatsPack is irrelevant for this problem.

ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection
 *Cause: The process of handing off a client connection to another process
 failed.
 *Action: Turn on listener tracing and re-execute the operation. Verify
 that the listener and database instance are properly configured for
 direct handoff.  If problem persists, call Oracle Support.
 *Comment: The problem can be worked around by configuring dispatcher(s)
 to specifically handle the desired presentation(s), and connecting
 directly to the dispatcher, bypassing the listener.

You can read direct handoff

with regard to your question (irrelevant though it may be Smile ) I would never run a statspack snapshot more frequently than every 15 minutes. It queries all those V$ views, which puts a terrible strain on the instance. Querying v$ views, particularly those populated from SGA, is expensive.
