The worry Tamil is that these connections spawn these remote connections which dont get cleanedup in the unix environment. the kernel parm NPROC is set to 7200 and we had an issue where we had 7200 processes in Unix and the system came down to a halt...
We have 8 middletier applications each maching 40 connections minimum with no threshold so thats 40*8=320 Oracle connections. I have seen that to upto 600 connections. for each connection there is a shadow process. so going back to my original question, if your processes parameter is set to 1500 that means you can only have upto 1500 remote processes right? Can there ever be more then 1500 remote processes in the OS
