What you get when you read messages in reverse chronological order!! OK, if you've got memory problems, start with trying to address those first. Can you decrease the size of the SGA? Cut the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS back by a third is possible, limit the shared_pool if you can,and get more memory again if possible. Oracle is one heck of a memory hog, no matter what platform your on.
Assuming all of that fails to resolve the ORA-4030 errors in dedicated server mode, then I guess your stuck with going MTS. Rules of thumb that Oracle handed me is fixing an iTAR: 1) set up one dispatcher for every 50 to 500 connections you expect. Practice here says experiment around a bit. The capacity of a dispatcher is a variable on each platform. HP is not exactly happy with more than 52 per dispatcher. 2) For every dispatcher there is, have a minimum of 2 shared servers. If you've got 2 dispatchers, which is just about the bottom of the barrel you need a minimum of 4 shared servers. 3) for every shared server, allocate 100K additional shared pool. This gets tricky since changing the shared pool means bouncing the database. I read it as MTS_MAX_SERVERS*100K added to the shared_pool. 4) last watch the utilization of your shared servers. If they all remain busy more than 50% of the time, up the value os MTS_MIN_SERVERS either in the init.ora and bounce or via the alter system command. 5) Continue to use decidated servers for all batch load/DML activities. Leave the MTS stuff for OLTP types of transactions. 6) And after all this, don't really expect an increase in performance, cause you ain't going to get it.

When switch to dedicated mode I get ora:04030.. Have you ever switched to MTS and seen the same performance , I wonder if you are sure about MTS performance is good. What ever I did did not give the same performance as dedicated connections even not approached.
