Jack,

    I use MTS of any instance were the company intranet gets involved for
similar reasons.  There are two problems that I've run into with MTS over the
years.  The first is running out of shared pool space.  With MTS the query and
resulting data get stored in the shared pool, so at least one should increase
this setting in init.ora.  The second gets into the basics of configuring MTS. 
First, make sure there are a minimum of at least 2 shared servers per
dispatcher.  If you've for 3 dispatchers then you need a minimum of 6 shared
servers.  The DB will not complain on startup if this is wrong, but it will at
some time thereafter, by crashing.  The second has to do with the number of
shared servers there are during normal operations.  Remember that once a user
submits a transaction to the database that it will sit in the shared pool
awaiting processing until a server becomes available.  This very much a FIFO
operation, so if all of the servers are busy then it may wait for a long time. 
My rule of thumb is to set MTS_MAX_SERVERS equal to 75% of max expected
connections.  The actual number running at any time will vary between the
minimum and maximum which is what it's suppose to do.  Also, configure at least
one connection method that will use a dedicated server.  Helps an awful lot with
batch data loads, actually an Oracle recommendation.

Hi All,

We have about 400-500 connections to our database and are now considering
going to MTS.

Can anybody share their experience? pitfalls? things to take care of?
performance issues?

Any help appreciated.

Our main objective is to lower the amount of RAM consumed by the Oracle
sessions.
