Can MAX_UTILIZATION for PROCESSES reached cause “Unable to get managed connection” Exception?

问题

A JBoss 5.2 application server log was filled with thousands of the following exception:

Caused by: javax.resource.ResourceException: Unable to get managed connection for jdbc_TestDB
at org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.BaseConnectionManager2.getManagedConnection(BaseConnectionManager2.java:441)

at org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.BaseConnectionManager2.getManagedConnection(BaseConnectionManager2.java:404)

I've stripped off the first part of the exception, which is basically our internal JDBC wrapper code which tries to get a DB connection from the pool.

Looking at the Oracle DB side I ran the query:

select resource_name, current_utilization, max_utilization, limit_value 
from v$resource_limit 
where resource_name in ('sessions', 'processes');

This produced the output:

RESOURCE_NAME   CURRENT_UTILIZATION     MAX_UTILIZATION     LIMIT_VALUE
processes       1387                    1500                1500
sessions        1434                    1586                2272

Given the fact that that PROCESSES limit of 1500 was reached, would this cause the JBoss exceptions we experienced? I've also been investigating the possibility of connection leaks, but haven't found any evidence of that so far.

What is the recommended course of action here? Is simply increasing the limit a valid solution?

回答1:

Usually when max_utilization gets the processes value listener will refuse new connections to database. you can see the errors relates to it in alert log. to solve this in database side you should increase the processes parameter.

回答2:

hmm strange. is it possible, that exception wrapping in JBOSS hides the original error? You should get some sql exception whose text starts with ORA-. Maybe your JDBC wrapper does not handle errors properly.

The recommended actions is to:

check configured size of connection pool against processes sessions Oracle startup paramters.
check Oracles view v$session, especially columns STATUS, LAST_CALL_ET, SQL_ID, PREV_SQL_ID.
translate sql_id(prev_sql_id) into sql_text via v$sql.
if you application has a connection leak, sql_id and pred_sql_id might point you onto a place in your source code, where a connection was used last (i.e. where it was leaked).
