Hi,

Everyday when we start work, the following error appears:
ORA - 12516: TNS: listener could not find available handler with matching protocol stack
It seems to be working fine after the database is re-started. This is fine, till the end of day. But again the next morning the same error props up. Kindly let me know what may be the problem.

in your listener.ora file, check whether you have something like this.
(DESCRIPTION = 
(PROTOCOL_STACK = 
(PRESENTATION = GIOP) 
(SESSION = RAW) 
) 
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = YOURHOST)(PORT = SOMEPORT)) 
) 

if so, take a backup of listener.ora ( just in case if u want the old configuration?).
delete the above entries.
stop listener.
reload the listener.ora
start the listener.

There are no entries such as those in the listener file we use.

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT =
1521))
)
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
)
)

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:oracleora90)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)

*****
Now have added this also:
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = DBNAME)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:oracleora90)
(SID_NAME = DBNAME)
)

Hello,

I had the same problem after my 10g Server crashed.
To solve the ORA-12516 Problem, I deleted my LISTENER and recreated it using the "Net Configuration Assistant" of Oracle.

Good luck,

C.
