We are getting ora-00020 message (ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (%s) exceeded) when trying to connect to our Oracle 9i database instance using OEM. Most connections are from server sides such as ColdFusion and JSP/Servlets.
The server sides give me back similiar message:150 maximum number of processes exceeded.

I googled the error message and it says to find what user is causing the problem. I used v$session but didnt find any user keeping the connection open.

Please advise what could be causing this message and how can it be fixed?
