Is resource_limit = true in your Init.ora file? If not then the profile is crippled. BTW, that's a continuous problem with people who use MicroSlop web development tools. Actually it's a problem with the tool, not the developer. I've worked with some of our ASP programmers here & seen that they do issue a disconnect command in the app & that the command returns success, whatever that means. Personally I think it's a MicroSlop thing to tell IIS that it can ignore that connection only. Get them to switch to Apache & PHP. preferably on Linux.

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?
