How to configure Shared Server?
A shared server process allows a single server process to service several clients, based on the premise TRANSLATE MY PAGE
that usually in an OLTP environment, a user is more often than not, reading and editing data on the
Select Language 
screen than actually executing a DML. What this means is that, there will be chunks of time when the

dedicated server process, dedicated to a particular c lient will be sitting idle. It is this idleness that is
exploited by the shared server process in servicing several clients together.
ABOUT ME

Shared server is enabled by setting the SHARED_SERVERS initialization parameter to a value greater

than 0. The other shared server initialization parameters need not be set. Because shared server requires
at least one dispatcher in order to work, a dispatcher is brought up even if no dispatcher has been I have started this blog to share my
knowledge and experience with other
configured. The SHARED_SERVERS initialization parameter specifies the minimum number of shared

length of the request queue. interests are high availability and disaster recovery
solutions for mission critical 24×7 systems.
In typical systems, the number of shared servers stabilizes at a ratio of one shared server for every ten View my complete profile
connections . For OLTP applications, when the rate of requests is low, or when the ratio of server usage
to request is low, the connections-to-servers ratio could be higher . If we know the average load on our
system, then we can set SHARED_SERVERS to an optimal value. The Below example shows how we FOLLOW BY EMAIL
can use this parameter .
Email address... Submit
For Example
Assume a database is being used by a telemarketing center staffed by 1000 agents. On average, each
agent spends 90% of the time talking to customers and only 10% of the time looking up and updating
SUBSCRIBE TO
records. To keep the shared servers from being terminated as agents talk to customers and then
spawned again as agents access the database, a DBA specifies that the optimal number of shared Posts
servers is 100 . However, not all work shifts are staffed at the same level. On the night shift, only 200
Comments
agents are needed. Since SHARED_SERVERS is a dynamic parameter, a DBA reduces the number of
shared servers to 20 at night, thus allowing resources to be freed up for other tasks such as batch
jobs .

Setting the Initial Number of Dispatchers
We can specify multiple dispatcher configurations by setting DISPATCHERS to a comma separated list of
strings, or by specifying multiple DISPATCHERS parameters in the initialization file. If we specify
DISPATCHERS multiple times, the lines must be adjacent to each other in the initialization parameter
file. Internally, Oracle Database assigns an INDEX value (beginning with zero) to each DISPATCHERS
parameter. We can later refer to that DISPATCHERS parameter in an ALTER SYSTEM statement by its
index number. Some examples of setting the DISPATCHERS initialization parameter follow.
DISPATCHERS="(PROTOCOL=TCP)(DISPATCHERS=2)"
DISPATCHERS="(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=144.25.16.201))(DISPATCHERS=2)" Follow
To force the dispatchers to use a specific port as the listening endpoint, add the PORT attribute as
follows:
VISITORS
DISPATCHERS="(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(PORT=5000))"
DISPATCHERS="(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(PORT=5001))"

Determining the Number of Dispatchers :

Once we know the number of possible connections for each process for the operating system, calculate
the initial number of dispatchers to create during instance startup, for each network protocol, using the
following formula:
Number of dispatchers = CEIL ( max. concurrent sessions / connections for each dispatcher )
CEIL returns the result roundest up to the next whole integer.

For example, assume a system that can support 970 connections for each process, and that has :
A maximum of 4000 sessions concurrently connected through TCP/IP and A maximum of 2,500
sessions concurrently connected through TCP/IP with SSL then DISPATCHERS attribute for TCP/IP
should be set to a minimum of five dispatchers (4000 / 970), and for TCP/IP with SSL three dispatchers
(2500 / 970) :
DISPATCHERS='(PROT=tcp)(DISP=5)', '(PROT-tcps)(DISP=3)'
Depending on performance, we may need to adjust the number of dispatchers.

Steps to configure shared server : To configure shared server we have to enable the following
parameter . All the below parameters are dynamic . Below is Demo to configur e the shared server. Visit Oracle Community

1.) alter system set shared_servers= 25; BLOG ARCHIVE

2.) alter system set max_shared_servers= 50; ► 2013 (6)
3.) alter system set dispatcherS= '(PROT=tcp)(DISP=30)'; ► 2012 (29)
