Question

What is the cause of the "ORA-00020 maximum number of processes exceeded" error that is appearing in the Voyager Oracle alert log?

Answer

Usually what causes these ORA-00020 errors is that someone is scraping records off the Voyager OPAC. This undesired activity can result in system instability or even system downtime.

You may also see other errors such as "License warning limit exceeded"
