Subject: ora-00020 with NBU RMAN plugin
Importance: High


Hi All,

I installed oracle plugin for netbackup and have configured a template for
full backups.

After running seemingly ok - i then seem to get a very fast escallation of
the number of in use processes and end up with ora-20. I have to kill rman
and stop/start the db to recover to normal ops.

I have tested this with no other users connected and with max procs = 350 in
my initxxx.ora still managed an ora-20


Any ideas ?

and from here many more .dbf then just stops, with no termination, just
sites there.

The linking also seems to have worked on the install.
