If I included the dispatchers and shared_servers parameters in my init
file and then restart my instance and then run 

On Oracle9i:
dispatchers=="(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=127.0.0.1)(port=1623))(service=ser.db)"
shared_servers=10


show parameter dispatchers

and

show parameter shared_servers

it showed that both of these parameters were not even set. Why is
that? How do I set them properly? did I miss something? I followed the
the manuals already.

Thanks
