Hello guys,
Recently, I have been facing this error
 ora-00020 maximum number of processes
I have read articles that says that I have to increase the number of processes, sessions, and the transactions.
I tried. and Simply I have done the followings:
I logged in as SYSDBA to the database.
I tried to use the following command:
alter system set processes = 500 scope = psfile
to increase the sessions and the transactions I need to follow the equations below :
sessions = (1.1*processes) + 5
transactions = (1.1*sessions)
well, I am not sure if it's correct or not.
so, I tried to increase the processes first by the command above.
I got another error
 ora-02095: specified initialization parameter cannot be modified
After reading about ora-02095. I found that I have to check the scope if it's spfile or pfile.

SELECT DECODE(value, NULL, 'PFILE', 'SPFILE') "Init File Type"
 FROM sys.v_$parameter WHERE name = 'spfile';
no rows selected

can you please help me.

Not possible, the syntax of the "above command" is invalid.

You still did not feedback in your previous topics but the last 2 ones (and just because I asked you to do so).
Is Littlefoot's solution the good one in http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/644173/#msg_644173?
And in http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/642014/#msg_642014?
And cookiemonster's one in http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/641218/#msg_641218?
And in the previous topics?
If you don't want to help others with your questions and solutions, why should we help you?

Yes I know it.

No but I can delete this one. Wink
So stop to refuse to help others and follow the rules and feedback in your previous topics (all of them not just the 3 I mentioned).

I already did, at least 2 or 3 times, and this is the reason you fed-back in your 2 previous topics.
And a feedback s not just "Thank You. Problem solved." you copied and pasted in all your topics, it is how you exactly solved it, what option worked.

Mr. Michel Cadot. I understand that I didn't complete my topics " the one you mentioned" Because, It's has been 2 years. How can I remember what I have done or What I have done or Does really that help or not. I understand that You want me to close the cases. So, I told them that I have fixed the problems. Anyways, From now on, The topics will be closed the way it should.
So, Mr.Michel Cadot, if you know the solution of my problems, it would be generous of you to help me.

if you are using a pfile, you can edit processes there
if you are using a spfile, you might want to check
In the intial post you mentioned scope = psfile instead of scope = spfile

Of course spfile was only introduced in 9i, and you state you are on 8i. So you will have to edit the pfile itself and restart the instance.

This is why we asked you several times to COPY AND PASTE what you do and get, the rest is pointless.
At the moment we read something wrong in your post then it is clear we can't believe anything you post.

This is also completely useless.

it is Best Practice to actually read Whole Thread from Top down to bottom before responding

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

The Solution :
Go to database files
go to ADMIN\database\pfile\init.ora
open it
change
processes = 59
to
processes = 200
then shutdown and start the database.
Problem Solved. Thanks for all.

====================================================================
"Mr. Michel Cadot" Is this good enough?
NOTES: Even though I posted this on 20th of july. I fixed it today
