  Our sid name is bsnl1.The number of processes in the initbsnl1.ora file is 250.But the command "SHOW PARAMETER SESSIONS;" is giving only 170 sessions and "SHOW PARAMETER PROCESSES;" is giving only 150 procsesses.We added a line SESSIONS=300 in the initbsnl1.ora file and did a normal
restart of the server.But the number of sessions and processes remain the same and the same error 'ORA-00018:MAXIMIUM NUMBER OF SESSIONS EXCEEDED' is repeating.

Hi,

In Ora9i onwards oracle use spfile for the init parameters. So after changing the parameter in initsid.ora create a new spfile from it using :

create spfile '/home/oracle/spfile.ora' from pfile='oracle_base/admin/sid/pfile/initsid.ora';

And replace the old spfile with newly created one. It will solve your problem.

Daljit Singh.
