ORA-06256: NETNTT: remote fork failed

ORA-06256: NETNTT: remote fork failed




Cause: The Oracle listener process on the cube could not fork off a shadow process.




Action: The instance you are trying to connect to probably doesn't have enough memory to run another shadow process. Ask someone else to log off, or connect to a different instance.
