SQLException: ORA-02020: too many database links in use.



You can limit the number of connections from a user process to remote databases using the static initialization parameter OPEN_LINKS. This parameter controls the number of remote connections that a single user session can use concurrently in distributed transactions.

If you are not sure how many database links are opened up concurrently by your session's database application, you can query v$dblink

select in_transaction, count(*) from v$dblink group by in_transaction;

To Increase the Database Links limit.  Follow the below.

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------------------------
ORCL


SQL> show parameter open_links;

NAME                                 TYPE                                         value
------------------------------------ --------------------------------- ------------------------------
open_links                           integer                                         4  


Default Value is > 4

Here have changed from 4 To 60.

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET OPEN_LINKS=60 SCOPE=SPFILE;

System altered.

NOTE: Parameter 'OPEN_LINKS' its static parameter. Hence database bounce is required, once change is made. Then only the new value will be effected.

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------------------------
ORCL

SQL> shut immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

How to Improve Oracle Data Pump Performance - IMPDP

  How to Improve Oracle Data Pump Performance:- Use Parallelism : Set the PARALLEL parameter to at least 2 * number of CPUs . This allows multiple worker processes to perform tasks simultaneously, speeding up both export and import processes. Example: PARALLEL=4 for a system with 2 CPUs. Perform Import Using NETWORK_LINK : Use the NETWORK_LINK parameter to import data directly from the source database. This method is particularly helpful when space is constrained, as it streams the data without needing to generate dump files on the source. It can also reduce time compared to exporting and then importing, as data is streamed directly from the source to the target database. Disable Archivelog Mode (Standalone Databases) : For standalone databases, temporarily disable archive logging during the import process. Import operations can generate a lot of redo logs, slowing down the import. Disabling...
