Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: ora-12500 on windows
Lisa,
we use shared servers in 9.2 on w2k adv svr for a very specific usage condition: where a VPN only has certain ports open.
recently, a client site rebuilt a citrix server, and did not restore the old tnsnames.ora file.
as a result, instead of obtaining dedicated server processes, 1/3rd of their sessions from their citrix farm were accessing shared servers.
it was fatal (to the instance, not to me).
It will depend upon your environment, but parsing with shared servers being used is not viable. If the code is lightweight and does not parse, you have a chance.
shared servers use a longer code path, and critical resources (such as the library_cache latch or shared_pool latch) may experience greatly increased contention.
as far as large memory support,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;283037
"Large Memory Support Is Available in Windows 2000 and
Windows Server 2003"
the addition of /3GB (possibly /PAE) in the boot.ini should take care of it. you can verify that these were read properly in the registry, under boot options.
win32 does not support the use of prespawned
connections. I have not mucked with connection
pooling.
are you using pga_aggregate_target?
hth.
