Tracy,
For most applications I see no reason to use MTS, BUT there are a couple of
locations where I do use MTS on 8.1.7 and have had few if any problems. It is
actually a fair performer provided that you set the max_servers parameter rather
generously. In total I find that MTS has one major Achilles heel, that being
whether or not a shared server is free and available at the time a user makes a
request. If all of the shared servers are busy, then the user must wait for one
to complete it's task and find the new request. One of our Intranet
applications uses an Oracle backend and we've seen this type of thing happen. Of
course the reason for using MTS here is the number of connections (WEB server
user MicroSlop ODBC driver) that refuse to die can at times hit the ceiling
causing the instance to cease functioning (max_processes occurs). MTS relieves
that problem which is the main reason we use it.

Anybody using multi-threaded server on 8.1.7? I tried it in the past with poor
results on 7.3.4 and thought about giving it another chance (actually we are
having memory issues due to the upgrade from 7.3.4 to 8.1.7) Any good websites
with detailed information/scripts for monitoring? TIA
