If your transactions are short, few seconds, you can use shared servers otherwise if your querys or operation takes several minutes, shared server is not an option. You can have both, once you configure shared server you can configure some computers to be dedicated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DENNIS WILLIAMS" <DWILLIAMS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 3:25 PM Subject: RE: ora-12500 on windows Lisa Maybe I'm a little simple, but in this situation I would be pressing the vendor (Informatica) for a solution. Taking the point of view that "your application has a problem". They may well have a solution or a suggestion. After all, they've been around awhile. Just a thought from a simple mind that hates to solve problems others have already solved.

Informatica fires in the neighborhood of 300 connections all at the same time, the exact same second. I have tried adding multiple listeners, adding the QUEUESIZE parameter, all to no avail. I had to reduce the sga size to stop the errors. =20 To make this more interesting, I am guaranteed that in the future there will be several hundred more concurrent connections added to what I'm dealing with now. =20 Can anyone comment - can MTS help in my situation? I've never used it. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
