Connect Fails but Spawns a Server Process Maxing out Processes

edited Feb 10, 2013 8:37PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered
 Running Oracle version 10.2.0.4 on SunOS 5.10.

The number of sessions never goes higher than 200, but processes will max out at 885.

It appears even though a connect fails with invalid password, Oracle is creating a process for this attempted connect.

After hundreds of failed attempted connects, this hangs the database by hitting max processes.

Hoping someone can recommend  how to prevent maxing out processes...

Howdy, Stranger!
