Jay, Have you set the init.ora parameter resource_limit = true ? This is a pre-req for profiles to work :-) HTH Srini Chavali Oracle DBA Cummins Inc Jay Wade <fish_dba@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 03/10/2004 04:45 PM Please respond to oracle-l To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: Subject: Profile (Idle Time Issue) Hello: I'm running into an issue where some developers using IIS and MS.Net are developing an application which creates a connection each time it connects to the database. After performing a task they dispose the connection (at least they says they are). But it seems as though there is a build up for idle sessions (30-40). I've created an assigned a profile with the following: CONNECT_TIME 120 IDLE_TIME 5 It seems like the connections for some of the users are still not being terminated. I've double checked and they are all associated with the profile. Any idea on how to terminate the idle instances? Any I missing something?
