SAP Note 131561 - Work processes sometimes abend during database connect

Component : Oracle -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/131561 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
When initiating multiple R/3 instances, some work processes fail due to various Oracle-related connection errors such as ORA-01034 and ORA-12500. These issues primarily occur because the listener handling database connections becomes overburdened when a significant number of work processes simultaneously request connections, exceeding the configured queue size. The recommended solutions involve adjusting the queue size in the listener configuration, proactive shadow process creation on UNIX systems, deactivating Oracle tracing, modifying OS parameters, and staggering the startup of SAP instances. Adjustments to the `listener.ora` file and possible OS level tweaks are detailed to curb these connection errors effectively.
