Hi, I have been noticing database disconnect issues with one of client. Application box: Perl/apache/applictaions LINUX box DB box =AIX 5.x box =OracleEE817 I noticed the memory on database at time T1 is X mb free.Users are connecting to DB box and accessing the database.After some time later say T2 the memory on DB box free X-Y MB. And once memory low at database box teh applications are experiencing "database disconnect" ping between both box looks fine. Could be apache a problem? couple be huge memory leakage on DB AIX box? ??? please advice. thanks _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
