  I've got an 8.1.7.4.0 instance running under 
  Solaris 2.8. 
  I've never worked with MTS before, but got a call 
  from a user telling me that there were 
  about 700 rows in v$session but they only had about 130 sessions open. 
  The user believes that  when the session is 
  ended, v$session doesn't (or doesn't always) get cleaned up.  Does anyone have any insight into this?  
  Thanks. 
  I checked v$process and had about 89 rows, which 
  matched exactly to the 89 unix processes that I had on the box. 
  I looked at paddr in v$session and saw that there 
  were just over 100 rows pointing to each of the 6 dispatchers. 
  The other rows each had their own dedicated 
  process. 
  I checked v$dispatcher and saw the 100+ values in 
  the OWNED column, but also saw values between 300 - 450 in the CREATED column.

  really don't know whether the application ends it's connections gracefully or

okay that sounds a lot like the connection got broken (PC turned off,
sqlnet expire time, which I see you've set, etc) badly

being a "newbie" is the perfect time to ask. You can sound totally
innocent ("I was just wondering how you have things set up here")

No, they are not "SNIPED"; I've worked with those before.

They are in fact all "INACTIVE".  I suspect they are waiting on the

client for their next messages.  As for your 2nd question:

I've got 7 users with the DBA role on this database! Why?

I'm too new here to ask.  I view them as users/support personnel.

did you look at the status column in v$session for the ones that don't

match?


IIRC, there can be a status of "SNIPED" where the session is not

actually connected but has not been cleaned up.


curiosity -- why is a user looking at v$session?

MTS v$session

Title: MTS v$session






I've got an 8.1.7.4.0 instance running under Solaris 2.8.


I've never worked with MTS before, but got a call from a user telling me that there

were about 700 rows in v$session but they only had about 130 sessions open.

The user believes that  when the session is ended, v$session doesn't (or doesn't always)

get cleaned up.  Does anyone have any insight into this?  Thanks.


I checked v$process and had about 89 rows, which matched exactly to the 89 unix processes that I had on the box.


I looked at paddr in v$session and saw that there were just over 100 rows pointing to each of the 6 dispatchers.

The other rows each had their own dedicated process.


I checked v$dispatcher and saw the 100+ values in the OWNED column, but also saw values between 300 - 450 in

the CREATED column.

        

I really don't know whether the application ends it's connections gracefully or nongracefully.
