Dave, I've seen these processes (ora_S00... and ora_d00..) but all connections are being made through dedicated processes.
Here's my configuration: mts_listener_address = "(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=10.20.81.78) (PORT=1521))" mts_service = PRUE1 mts_dispatchers = "tcp,2" mts_max_dispatchers = 10 mts_servers = 6 mts_max_servers = 100 The listener has been started before the RDBMS: listener.ora LISTENER = (ADDRESS_LIST= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.20.81.78)(PORT=1521)) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=PRUE1))) SID_LIST_LISTENER= (SID_LIST= (SID_DESC= (GLOBAL_DBNAME=PRUE1) (SID_NAME=PRUE1) (ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7) ) ) lsnrctl services LSNRCTL for Linux: Version 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on 06-NOV-2002 16:40:58 (c) Copyright 1998 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.20.81.78)(PORT=1521)) Services Summary... PRUE1 has 2 service handler(s) DEDICATED SERVER established:0 refused:0 LOCAL SERVER DEDICATED SERVER established:0 refused:0 LOCAL SERVER The command completed successfully BUT the user processes are not using MTS. Why aren't they using MTS? What's wrong in this configuration? thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------ To see how many dispatchers/shared servers are started up with the RDBMS, check the value of 'mts_dispatchers' and 'mts_servers' in the init.ora. You can also tell by looking in the alert.log(default location is $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log). Sample: PMON started DBWR started LGWR started RECO started Thu Sep 14 09:24:15 1995 starting up 4 shared server(s) ... starting up 4 dispatcher(s) for network See Note:1012480.6 on Metastink for mor info on MTS Processes Dave -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 10:59 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Oracle 8i How can I tell if MTS is activated? Which parameters should I look at? (in init.ora and listener.ora) thanks Pablo _______________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
