CAUSE

Init.ora parameter shared_servers has a value greater than 0.

SOLUTION

1. Check the Database parameter shared_servers value:
   1. Start SQLPlus
   2. Connect as DBA user
   3. Execute the following to gather the parameter value:
      SQL> show parameters shared_servers
2. If the shared_servers value is not 0 then set init.ora parameter shared_servers to value to 0.
3. Restart the Database.
4. Restart the Mapping execution.
