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
